I expect that the stream-based extractors of streamanalyzer will perform a lot better on most of those video formats. As they can read chunks from a stream rather than use a library like GStreamer to load a big pipeline and the movie itself into it. For some multi-media formats we need to read the entire thing to get an accurate playtime time estimation. At least read several frames. Note that streamanalyzer's integration has been merged with the vstore branch since yesterday. I have set the required version for streamanalyzer to 9.9.9 because streamanalyzer is not ported to Nepomuk yet. However ... Take a look at this stuff: git://github.com/Phreedom/strigi-nepomuk.git They are also trying to work together with us on having the same conventions for URNs and anonymous URIs, so that it wont matter whether our own extractors or StreamAnalyzer's Analyzers return us the Nepomuk ontology based metadata back. I have been testing with tracker-topanalyzer.cpp and it has been working fine, except for yetunported ontology parts of StreamAnalyzer of course. -- Philip Van Hoof, freelance software developer home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org http://pvanhoof.be/blog http://codeminded.be _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
