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