I'd still use the metadata directive. If someone needs per-stream, or
per-packet metadata, he can implement selector directives for that. Like
metadata_stream or metadata_interval which will change the scope of the
following metadata directives.
How about that?
I am still uneasy about that. Selectors feel like making the parser more
complex, and also there is the issue of self-documentation.
When someone reads a concat script and see "metadata foo=bar", unless they
already know exactly the directive, they will take a guess at what it does,
and since packet metadata is rare, especially packet metadata that is
duplicated over all the packets, they will probably not guess right.
I really think a more specific name would be useful.
What about "file_packet_metadata"?
It clearly states that metadata is set on a file level, and it belongs to
packets.
This is an usability issue, though, so my role as maintainer is not very
important: let us ear advice from other people.
Sure, anybody? :)
Thanks,
Marton
