Fields for ID3 metadata - MediaLive

Fields for ID3 metadata

This table shows the fields that apply for an action to insert one ID3 metadata.

Field Description
Action type HLS Timed Metadata.
Action name A name for the metadata item. You might want to design a convention for naming ID3 metadata items, such as id3_metadata-<UTC time>.
Start type Fixed or Immediate.
Date and time

If the Start type is Fixed, specify the UTC start time for the ID3 metadata item. The time should be at least 15 seconds in the future.

Note that the time is the wall clock time, not the timecode in the input.

Id3

Enter the ID3 metadata encoded as base64. The metadata must be fully formed ID3 metadata (including both a header and a frame, as per the ID3 2.4.0 specification).

The content of the value property can include MediaLive variable data. MediaLive will examine the contents of the base64 and perform substitutions. For example, MediaLive will change $dt$ to the date and time.
