The `androidx.media3.inspector` module lets you *inspect* media files by
extracting information from them. You don't need to instantiate a full player,
which makes the module ideal for *non-playback* scenarios.

This module includes the following APIs:

- [`MetadataRetriever`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/media3/inspector/MetadataRetriever): Retrieves high-level **metadata**.
- [`FrameExtractor`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/media3/inspector/FrameExtractor): Extracts individual **decoded video frames and
  thumbnails**.
- [`MediaExtractorCompat`](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/media3/inspector/MediaExtractorCompat): Extracts raw, **encoded media samples**.
