  Description     : scanner to find media files and extract metadata from them

libmediascan consists of a C library and corresponding Perl module to:
* Scan a file tree for media files
* Generate audio, video, and image thumbnails at scan-time.
* Determine DLNA profile information during scanning

It supports change notification methods for background directory watching.

The library depends on FFmpeg to handle video files, libjpeg/libpng/libgif for
image and thumbnail support, and libexif for JPEG tags.

libmediascan is an evolution of the work done on the Perl modules Audio::Scan
and Image::Scale:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Audio-Scan
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Image-Scale

I intend to maintain this package inside the Perl team where its
siblings are also maintained.
