Description Adam Dingle 2010-11-16 17:02:02 UTC 
The GST_TAG_DATE tag can report a date read from a media file's metadata.  Some media files (including QuickTime and AVI files) can contain metadata with the actual time that media was recorded.  Since GST_TAG_DATE can report only a date, there's currently no way that GStreamer can report an actual time, which would be useful for some applications.

I propose that we add a tag called GST_TAG_TIME which holds a GTimeVal or a time_t.  Demuxers can use this tag to report the exact time when a media stream was recorded.

We have GST_TAG_DATE_TIME now, it's should be in the upcoming releases.

Closing as duplicate.
