Andre-John Mas commented on TIKA-590:
-------------------------------------
Some cases I see:
- hash
- duration of song or movie
- language tracks in movie
I have looked into doing this with the mp3 file format, but in doing so I see
it would require a second pass over the inputstream and in certain cases would
need to make use of other libraries. For this reason I wondering whether an
extension architecture would be needed? Imagine using a native library on
certain platforms such as libvlc.

> This feature would allow applications to dig deeper into files to define
> meta-data that is not presented as a tag in the file. For example a file that
> has no duration information could with a little more work provide this
> missing information. The idea is to let the API user make a difference
> between data that is quick to retrieve and data that is slower to retrieve
> because of the extra processing needed to get that information.
