Media API question regarding metadata retrieval

[Robert Krüger]

Hi,

I was a bit surprised that the metadata retrieval functionality
of javafx.scene.media.Media is only usable in conjunction with a player, so
if I want to retrieve the dimensions of a video file I have to instantiate
a player and wait for it to reach ready state? That's how I read the
javadoc. Is this a misunderstanding? If not is there a specific reason not
to offer this functionality independently of a player?

Best regards,

Robert
