[Banshee-List] MetadataService and MetadataProviders

[Fernando Casanova <fcasanova fluendo com>]

Hi,

I was starting to look at the MetadataService code and I have a few questions.

If I understand this code correctly the MetadataService input item is
always a track.
But there is no way for the MetadataService to do job filtering (ie.
to only process the track in case the input track matches a set of
conditions). This filtering is done downstream in the
MetadataProviders.

The problem I'm trying to solve here is the following:
- I want to add specific MetadataProviders for videos
- I wouldn't like other MetadataProviders to be called
and
- I don't want to touch any of the other MetadataProviders

Here are my questions:
Has someone started to think about a way to handle this kind of stuff?
Did I understand things correctly? Am I missing some point here?

Thanks a lot,

   Regards,

       Fernando
