Description yash 2015-10-15 11:34:07 UTC 
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/chapter-metadata.html

The example above takes a parameter in URI format. But a naive attempt to invoke it as: file://test.ogg will fail. 

file://`pwd`/test.ogg should be used instead.

It would be lovely to take a file name as a parameter instead, and construct an URI using sprintf() or similar to avoid this kind of problem.

    Accept both filename and a URI as argument, and print
    the error from the error message if there's an error.
