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