Description Age Bosma (IRC: Forage) 2011-09-26 23:46:05 UTC 
By looking at the code, GstDiscoverer only emits the signals "discovered" and "finished" in async mode. "started" on the other hand is emitted in both modes.

The fact that there is currently no mention of this behaviour in the documentation makes it confusing. Personally I think it should be all or nothing; all signals in both modes or non in blocking mode.

At least describe the intended behaviour in the documentation.

Can you provide a patch for the documentation?

This bug has an assigned developer but has not received activity in almost a year.

Is the assigned person still working on this ?

Edward - a comment on the intention behind the signals would have been helpful.. ;)
