[FFmpeg-user] getting some xml-ish dump while ffprobing a media file's metadata?

[Albretch Mueller]

 the thing is that tika(.apache.org) is sorely missing media file
metadata handling

 "parsers implementations for media files (mpeg, flv, webm)"
~
 and parsing what ffprobe spits is messy and unreliable
~
 Have you thought of that? Is this happening any time soon?
