simaaimetaparser

This plugin is specifically designed to bridge metadata handling between PyGast and downstream plugins. It handles metadata in two distinct modes:

Direct Mode (Primary)

• Used when input buffer has properly attached GstCustomMeta

• Efficiently forwards metadata without parsing

• No memory overhead for metadata extraction

Header Parsing Mode (Fallback)

• Activates when receiving PyGast-style buffer with embedded metadata

• Metadata structure in input buffer (see code below)

• Automatically extracts and reattaches metadata using GstCustomMeta
