+// The amount of time that the discoverer is allowed to use is limited by a timeout.
+// This allows to handle e.g. network problems gracefully. When the timeout hits before
+// discoverer was able to detect anything, discoverer will report an error.
+// In this example, we catch this error and stop the application.
+// Discovered information could for example contain the stream's duration or whether it is
+// seekable (filesystem) or not (some http servers).
