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