        I do not specifically exclude that option. However mplayer
        does not read avi info tags. It does not read exif, iptc
        and other tags from images and it starts very slow which
        makes it useless for retrieving metadata while browsing
        a directory.
        My framework for metadata retrieval is flexible in the way
        of how they are retrieved. However I found python very
        efficient in parsing binary data. IE it was much more simple
        to parse Metainfo out of OGG files than to integrate
        libvorbis in python. I retrieve the complete ogg metainfo
        in about 30 lines of python.
