93 * @defgroup metadata_api Public Metadata API
96 * The metadata API allows libavformat to export metadata tags to a client
97 * application when demuxing. Conversely it allows a client application to
98 * set metadata when muxing.
100 * Metadata is exported or set as pairs of key/value strings in the 'metadata'
101 * fields of the AVFormatContext, AVStream, AVChapter and AVProgram structs
102 * using the @ref lavu_dict "AVDictionary" API. Like all strings in Libav,
103 * metadata is assumed to be UTF-8 encoded Unicode. Note that metadata
104 * exported by demuxers isn't checked to be valid UTF-8 in most cases.
106 * Important concepts to keep in mind:
107 * - Keys are unique; there can never be 2 tags with the same key. This is
108 * also meant semantically, i.e., a demuxer should not knowingly produce
109 * several keys that are literally different but semantically identical.
110 * E.g., key=Author5, key=Author6. In this example, all authors must be
111 * placed in the same tag.
112 * - Metadata is flat, not hierarchical; there are no subtags. If you
113 * want to store, e.g., the email address of the child of producer Alice
114 * and actor Bob, that could have key=alice_and_bobs_childs_email_address.
115 * - Several modifiers can be applied to the tag name. This is done by
116 * appending a dash character ('-') and the modifier name in the order
117 * they appear in the list below -- e.g. foo-eng-sort, not foo-sort-eng.
118 * - language -- a tag whose value is localized for a particular language
119 * is appended with the ISO 639-2/B 3-letter language code.
120 * For example: Author-ger=Michael, Author-eng=Mike
121 * The original/default language is in the unqualified "Author" tag.
122 * A demuxer should set a default if it sets any translated tag.
123 * - sorting -- a modified version of a tag that should be used for
124 * sorting will have '-sort' appended. E.g. artist="The Beatles",
125 * artist-sort="Beatles, The".
127 * - Demuxers attempt to export metadata in a generic format, however tags
128 * with no generic equivalents are left as they are stored in the container.
129 * Follows a list of generic tag names:
132 album -- name of the set this work belongs to
133 album_artist -- main creator of the set/album, if different from artist.
134 e.g. "Various Artists" for compilation albums.
135 artist -- main creator of the work
136 comment -- any additional description of the file.
137 composer -- who composed the work, if different from artist.
138 copyright -- name of copyright holder.
139 creation_time-- date when the file was created, preferably in ISO 8601.
140 date -- date when the work was created, preferably in ISO 8601.
141 disc -- number of a subset, e.g. disc in a multi-disc collection.
142 encoder -- name/settings of the software/hardware that produced the file.
143 encoded_by -- person/group who created the file.
144 filename -- original name of the file.
145 genre -- <self-evident>.
146 language -- main language in which the work is performed, preferably
147 in ISO 639-2 format. Multiple languages can be specified by
148 separating them with commas.
149 performer -- artist who performed the work, if different from artist.
150 E.g for "Also sprach Zarathustra", artist would be "Richard
151 Strauss" and performer "London Philharmonic Orchestra".
152 publisher -- name of the label/publisher.
153 service_name -- name of the service in broadcasting (channel name).
154 service_provider -- name of the service provider in broadcasting.
155 title -- name of the work.
156 track -- number of this work in the set, can be in form current/total.
157 variant_bitrate -- the total bitrate of the bitrate variant that the current stream is part of
