Custom metadata
We offer several ways how you can use custom metadata to enrich the user experience. Some options are only available for partners that build their own web page.
Custom tags
A metadata asset has predefined fields for title, director, cast, production year, etc. These fields are displayed in the apps and the website. Some of them like the director and cast are even searchable.
If you want to add unique descriptive fields that are specific to your service you can use custom tags. You can e.g. create your own ranking system or add fields for subtitles and audio. You can use up to 10 custom metadata fields.
Custom tag 1 - 5 display additional information, are searchable and clickable
Custom tag 6 - 10 display additional information
How to set up and use custom tag fields
If you for example want to display to your users which subtitles are available you need to do the following:
Inform us which custom tag you want to use to display "Subtitles". We will add the correct translation to your service.
Add the language of the subtitle in a custom field of the metadata asset e.g. English
Make sure that the custom tag is rendered in the service. You can check and change the settings in the configuration section of the console.
Custom ID
If you are building your own web page you can use the custom ID field for human readable IDs. This allows you e.g to use the custom ID in the URL (https://play.myservice.com/movie/madmax)
Custom metadata
If you want to display even more information on your web page you can add a JSON object to your metadata asset.
If you want to add it directly in the metadata JSON file mark it as "custom":{}.
