[Bug 43853] Re: Rhythmbox shouldn't be scanning the video files

[James "Doc" Livingston]

Rhythmbox has to scan all files, because until it scans them it doesn't
know whether they contain audio and/or video. Mimetypes aren't enough,
because many types like application/ogg and video/quicktime are just
containers, and so may contain audio (Vorbis, AAC) or video (Theora, QT
video).

The problem of RB crashing on imports has been fixed for 0.9.4, if the
metadata-helper is enabled (which it is by default). Using that
importing is run in a separate process, so crahes in GStreamer won't
kill RB.
