Anyway, I have no particular position for or against Michael's particular implementation ideas on info. However, here are a few things I would prefer...
- Let's not use the same key more than once with different values in the same context (same stream/chapter/timeinterval). I fear this will be confusing to players.
You mean, if I have 'director' set to the entire file, i can't use 'director' again as a subinfo for some stream?.. sounds ok with me...
No, i mean you can't put both Stream=1 and Stream=2 in the same packet.
- If possible, I'd prefer that the demuxer not need to handle any of the semantics of info tags. But maybe this is a stupid requirement on my part.
Maybe I'll try throwing some ideas out later for discussion. In the mean time, no worries, it's not my intent to flame or shoot down anyone's approach to info.
BTW, I'm considering keeping compatiblity with mkv tags, so transcoding is easy... Just the names of the fields, they use all caps and underscores (TITLE, CHAPTER_ID, whatever)
I doubt anyone will remux between nut and mkv.. and all other formats require different names anyway (or don't use names at all). IMO the all-caps is yet another ugly WINDOWS-ism of mkv... Rich
