Metadata constants

Constant nameDescription
ADBMediaObjectKeyStandardMediaMetadataConstant for attaching standard metadata on MediaInfo ADBMediaObject

Implementation

  1. Create a dictionary of standard metadata key value pairs using the ADBStandardMetadataKeys
    IOS metadata keys

  2. Set the standard metadata dictionary on MediaInfo ADBMediaObject instance using the Standard Metadata constant for metadata.

  3. Provide this MediaInfo object while invoking the trackSessionStart API.

Sample implementation

Instantiate a standard metdata object, populate the desired variables, and set the metadata object on the Media Heartbeat object. For example:

// Sample implementation for using standard video metadata keys

NSMutableDictionary *standardVideoMetadata = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

[standardVideoMetadata setObject:@"Sample Show" forKey:ADBVideoMetadataKeySHOW];

[standardVideoMetadata setObject:@"Sample Season" forKey:ADBVideoMetadataKeySEASON];

[standardVideoMetadata setObject:@"Sample Episode" forKey:ADBVideoMetadataKeyEPISODE];

[mediaObject setValue:standardVideoMetadata forKey:ADBMediaObjectKeyStandardMediaMetadata];

// Sample implementation for using standard audio metadata keys

NSMutableDictionary *standardAudioMetadata = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

[standardAudioMetadata setObject:@"Sample Album"   forKey:ADBAudioMetadataKeyALBUM];

[standardAudioMetadata setObject:@"Sample Label"   forKey:ADBAudioMetadataKeyLABEL];

[mediaObject setValue:standardAudioMetadata   forKey:ADBMediaObjectKeyStandardMediaMetadata];
