The `Discoverer` is a utility object which allows to get as much
information as possible from one or many URIs.
It provides two APIs, allowing usage in blocking or non-blocking mode.
The blocking mode just requires calling `Discoverer::discover_uri`
with the URI one wishes to discover.
The non-blocking mode requires a running `glib::MainLoop` iterating a
`glib::MainContext`, where one connects to the various signals, appends the
URIs to be processed (through `Discoverer::discover_uri_async`) and then
asks for the discovery to begin (through `Discoverer::start`).
By default this will use the GLib default main context unless you have
set a custom context using `glib::MainContext::push_thread_default`.
All the information is returned in a `DiscovererInfo` structure.
# Implements
[`glib::object::ObjectExt`](../glib/object/trait.ObjectExt.html)
Creates a new `Discoverer` with the provided timeout.
## `timeout`
timeout per file, in nanoseconds. Allowed are values between
one second (`GST_SECOND`) and one hour (3600 * `GST_SECOND`)
# Returns
The new `Discoverer`.
If an error occurred when creating the discoverer, `err` will be set
accordingly and `None` will be returned. If `err` is set, the caller must
free it when no longer needed using `glib::Error::free`.
Synchronously discovers the given `uri`.
A copy of `uri` will be made internally, so the caller can safely `g_free`
afterwards.
## `uri`
The URI to run on.
# Returns
the result of the scanning. Can be `None` if an
error occurred.
Appends the given `uri` to the list of URIs to discoverer. The actual
discovery of the `uri` will only take place if `Discoverer::start` has
been called.
A copy of `uri` will be made internally, so the caller can safely `g_free`
afterwards.
## `uri`
the URI to add.
# Returns
`true` if the `uri` was successfully appended to the list of pending
uris, else `false`
Allow asynchronous discovering of URIs to take place.
A `glib::MainLoop` must be available for `Discoverer` to properly work in
asynchronous mode.
Stop the discovery of any pending URIs and clears the list of
pending URIS (if any).
Will be emitted in async mode when all information on a URI could be
discovered, or an error occurred.
When an error occurs, `info` might still contain some partial information,
depending on the circumstances of the error.
## `info`
the results `DiscovererInfo`
## `error`
`glib::Error`, which will be non-NULL
if an error occurred during
discovery. You must not free
this `glib::Error`, it will be freed by
the discoverer.
Will be emitted in async mode when all pending URIs have been processed.
This signal is emitted after the source element has been created for, so
the URI being discovered, so it can be configured by setting additional
properties (e.g. set a proxy server for an http source, or set the device
and read speed for an audio cd source).
This signal is usually emitted from the context of a GStreamer streaming
thread.
## `source`
source element
Will be emitted when the discover starts analyzing the pending URIs
The duration (in nanoseconds) after which the discovery of an individual
URI will timeout.
If the discovery of a URI times out, the `DiscovererResult::Timeout` will be
set on the result flags.
The duration (in nanoseconds) after which the discovery of an individual
URI will timeout.
If the discovery of a URI times out, the `DiscovererResult::Timeout` will be
set on the result flags.

Base structure for information concerning a media stream. Depending on the
stream type, one can find more media-specific information in
`DiscovererAudioInfo`, `DiscovererVideoInfo`, and
`DiscovererContainerInfo`.
The `DiscovererStreamInfo` represents the topology of the stream. Siblings
can be iterated over with `DiscovererStreamInfoExt::get_next` and
`DiscovererStreamInfoExt::get_previous`. Children (sub-streams) of a
stream can be accessed using the `DiscovererContainerInfo` API.
As a simple example, if you run `Discoverer` on an AVI file with one audio
and one video stream, you will get a `DiscovererContainerInfo`
corresponding to the AVI container, which in turn will have a
`DiscovererAudioInfo` sub-stream and a `DiscovererVideoInfo` sub-stream
for the audio and video streams respectively.
