53 * @defgroup metadata_api Public Metadata API
55 * The metadata API allows libavformat to export metadata tags to a client
56 * application using a sequence of key/value pairs. Like all strings in FFmpeg,
57 * metadata must be stored as UTF-8 encoded Unicode. Note that metadata
58 * exported by demuxers isn't checked to be valid UTF-8 in most cases.
59 * Important concepts to keep in mind:
60 * - Keys are unique; there can never be 2 tags with the same key. This is
61 * also meant semantically, i.e., a demuxer should not knowingly produce
62 * several keys that are literally different but semantically identical.
63 * E.g., key=Author5, key=Author6. In this example, all authors must be
64 * placed in the same tag.
65 * - Metadata is flat, not hierarchical; there are no subtags. If you
66 * want to store, e.g., the email address of the child of producer Alice
67 * and actor Bob, that could have key=alice_and_bobs_childs_email_address.
68 * - Several modifiers can be applied to the tag name. This is done by
69 * appending a dash character ('-') and the modifier name in the order
70 * they appear in the list below -- e.g. foo-eng-sort, not foo-sort-eng.
71 * - language -- a tag whose value is localized for a particular language
72 * is appended with the ISO 639-2/B 3-letter language code.
73 * For example: Author-ger=Michael, Author-eng=Mike
74 * The original/default language is in the unqualified "Author" tag.
75 * A demuxer should set a default if it sets any translated tag.
76 * - sorting -- a modified version of a tag that should be used for
77 * sorting will have '-sort' appended. E.g. artist="The Beatles",
78 * artist-sort="Beatles, The".
80 * - Demuxers attempt to export metadata in a generic format, however tags
81 * with no generic equivalents are left as they are stored in the container.
82 * Follows a list of generic tag names:
85 album -- name of the set this work belongs to
86 album_artist -- main creator of the set/album, if different from artist.
87 e.g. "Various Artists" for compilation albums.
88 artist -- main creator of the work
89 comment -- any additional description of the file.
90 composer -- who composed the work, if different from artist.
91 copyright -- name of copyright holder.
92 creation_time-- date when the file was created, preferably in ISO 8601.
93 date -- date when the work was created, preferably in ISO 8601.
94 disc -- number of a subset, e.g. disc in a multi-disc collection.
95 encoder -- name/settings of the software/hardware that produced the file.
96 encoded_by -- person/group who created the file.
97 filename -- original name of the file.
98 genre -- <self-evident>.
99 language -- main language in which the work is performed, preferably
100 in ISO 639-2 format. Multiple languages can be specified by
101 separating them with commas.
102 performer -- artist who performed the work, if different from artist.
103 E.g for "Also sprach Zarathustra", artist would be "Richard
104 Strauss" and performer "London Philharmonic Orchestra".
105 publisher -- name of the label/publisher.
106 service_name -- name of the service in broadcasting (channel name).
107 service_provider -- name of the service provider in broadcasting.
108 title -- name of the work.
109 track -- number of this work in the set, can be in form current/total.
110 variant_bitrate -- the total bitrate of the bitrate variant that the current stream is part of
