Areas of alignment • Communicating the priority of assets ordered should be considered as part of the specification to inform which assets a provider should focus on first. The WG has defined priority as a derived value based on due date, provider value, retailer value and relative complexity/completeness of the deliverable. • The specification should accommodate both concrete (by explicit asset ID) and abstract (attributes of the assets, e.g. fr-FR subtitles for Title 12345) orders. http://movielabs.com/dsca-bam1 154 Asset Ordering WG, Cont. Open questions • How do providers communicate explicitly when they acknowledge or reject (will not fulfill) an order? • Should we use manifests as “asset catalogs” to let providers communicate available assets to retailers? • What levels of order granularity (avail, title, abstract element, specific asset) should the spec support? Next Steps • Confirm data flow • Review draft specification http://movielabs.com/dsca-bam1 155 Working Group Report: Metadata http://movielabs.com/dsca-bam1 156 Metadata Working Group (MEC & MMC) • WG members from Amazon, DEG, Discovery, Disney, EMA, Fandango, Google, HBO, Lionsgate, Microsoft, MovieLabs, NBCU, Paramount, Scripps, Sony PlayStation, Viacom, WB • Recurring, monthly conference calls http://movielabs.com/dsca-bam1 157 Applicable Specs EMA Avails Product Content Delivery Definition Media Manifest Media Manifest Best Practices Product CPE-Manifest CPE-AppData Core (MMC) for Delivery Definition CPE-HTML CPE-Appearance CPE Best Practices Common Media for IMF Manifest* MDDF API Media Common Entertainment Metadata* *Almost every spec references Common Metadata Core (MEC)* Most reference Media Manifest and MEC http://movielabs.com/dsca-bam1 158 Development Work (summary) • Common Metadata 2.6 • www.movielabs.com/md/hot.html#cm • Media Manifest 1.7 • www.movielabs.com/md/hot.html#manifest • MMC for TV • www.movielabs.com/md/mmc/hot.html • Best Practices • www.movielabs.com/md/practices http://movielabs.com/dsca-bam1 159 Common Metadata 2.6 • CM is base spec for MEC, Media Manifest/MMC, Avails and more • Changes in v2.6 • ‘Added People/Job/CharacterInfo for localization and IDs • Parent (esp. for regional episode ordering) • Added SequenceInfo • Added Region/RegionExcluded? • Universe, Brand and Franchise • “Based on” (book) • Improved gender identity encoding • noforced’ subtitle Type • ‘Production’ ReleaseType • CountryOfOrigin 0..1 → 0..n • Status: • Solid draft—in review http://movielabs.com/dsca-bam1 160 Media Manifest 1.7 • Proposed Changes in v1.7 • Reference CM v2.6 • Added ‘Source’ to MediaManifestEdit (as for MediaManifest) • Add descriptive info to Presentation/TrackMetadata to make it easier to sort out what the grouping is for (e.g., commentary). • Allow objects other than Experience to be external (TBD) • Consider allowing timecode in hh:mm:ss:FF (frame).
