Description Guillaume Emont (guijemont) 2008-12-11 11:13:03 UTC 
Typefinders for these types of files should be added so that there type is correctly identified by gstreamer.

Other information:
What happens now:
$ gst-typefind word97.doc
word97.doc - audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, layer=(int)1
$ gst-typefind .DS_Store
.DS_Store - video/mpeg, systemstream=(boolean)false, mpegversion=(int)1

What should happen:
$ gst-typefind .DS_Store
.DS_Store - application/octet-stream
$ gst-typefind word97.doc
word97.doc - application/msword

Output of the "file" command on these files:
$ file -i word97.doc .DS_Store 
word97.doc: \012- application/msword
.DS_Store:  application/octet-stream

        * gst/typefind/gsttypefindfunctions.c: (plugin_init):
        Add typefinders for MS Word files and OS X .DS_Store files to
        prevent them to be recognized as MPEG files. Fixes bug #564098.
