Add or remove channel metadata
When you configure metadata for a channel, that metadata is embedded in all channel recordings and
streams. You can specify the following metadata that the media player displays for your viewers:
l
title of the presentation
l
Author
l
copyright date or other labels such as proprietary information, preliminary etc.
l
additional comments about the broadcast, such as time of the broadcast, or change to the schedule
How metadata is displayed depends largely on the media player. For example VLC, stores the metadata in a
media information file, while other media players scroll the text horizontally from right to left across the
bottom of the media player window.
Use only alphanumeric and diacritic characters in metadata descriptions. The whole metadata
string is refused if any special currency or mathematical symbol appears in the description. You
must remove the offending characters before Pearl-2 will accept the description.
