Abstract
The disclosed embodiments related generally to the submission of metadata content and media content to a media distribution system. The media content can include, for example, audio, video, image, or podcast data. In accordance with one embodiment, a client submitting metadata content can validate the metadata content prior to submission of the metadata content and/or associated media content. A media distribution system receiving metadata content can also validate the metadata content.
Claims21
A method of submitting digital asset data, comprising:
- generating a package including one or more metadata files and a plurality of data files, each of the plurality of data files including digital asset data, and each of the metadata files including metadata content;
- submitting the package to a digital asset distribution system, thereby enabling a digital media file to be encoded at the digital asset distribution system using at least a portion of the digital asset data in the plurality of data files according to the metadata content;
- and
- determining whether the package is a valid package prior to submitting the package;
- wherein submitting is performed when it is determined that the package is a valid package.
2 more elements
An apparatus for providing digital content, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, at least one of the processor or the memory being adapted for:
- generating a package including one or more metadata files and a plurality of data files, each of the plurality of data files including data content, and each of the metadata files including metadata content;
- determining whether the package is a valid package;
- submitting the package to a digital content distribution system if it is determined that the package is a valid package, thereby enabling a digital asset file to be encoded at the content distribution system using at least a portion of the data content in the plurality of data files according to the metadata content.
3 more elements
A method of providing digital media content, comprising:
- obtaining a package including one or more metadata files and a plurality of data files, each of the plurality of data files including media content and the metadata files including metadata content;
- receiving input from a client;
- and
- submitting the package to a media content distribution system, thereby enabling a digital media file to be encoded at the media content distribution system using at least a portion of the media content in the plurality of data files according to the metadata content;
- wherein the input requests or provides information associated with the package submission.
