/*
 * Public Metadata API.
 * The metadata API allows libavformat to export metadata tags to a client
 * application using a sequence of key/value pairs. Like all strings in FFmpeg,
 * metadata must be stored as UTF-8 encoded Unicode. Note that metadata
 * exported by demuxers isn't checked to be valid UTF-8 in most cases.
 * Important concepts to keep in mind:
 * 1. Keys are unique; there can never be 2 tags with the same key. This is
 *    also meant semantically, i.e., a demuxer should not knowingly produce
 *    several keys that are literally different but semantically identical.
 *    E.g., key=Author5, key=Author6. In this example, all authors must be
 *    placed in the same tag.
 * 2. Metadata is flat, not hierarchical; there are no subtags. If you
 *    want to store, e.g., the email address of the child of producer Alice
 *    and actor Bob, that could have key=alice_and_bobs_childs_email_address.
 * 3. Several modifiers can be applied to the tag name. This is done by
 *    appending a dash character ('-') and the modifier name in the order
 *    they appear in the list below -- e.g. foo-eng-sort, not foo-sort-eng.
 *    a) language -- a tag whose value is localized for a particular language
 *       is appended with the ISO 639-2/B 3-letter language code.
 *       For example: Author-ger=Michael, Author-eng=Mike
 *       The original/default language is in the unqualified "Author" tag.
 *       A demuxer should set a default if it sets any translated tag.
 *    b) sorting  -- a modified version of a tag that should be used for
 *       sorting will have '-sort' appended. E.g. artist="The Beatles",
 *       artist-sort="Beatles, The".
 *
 * 4. Demuxers attempt to export metadata in a generic format, however tags
 *    with no generic equivalents are left as they are stored in the container.
 *    Follows a list of generic tag names:
 *
 * album        -- name of the set this work belongs to
 * album_artist -- main creator of the set/album, if different from artist.
 *                 e.g. "Various Artists" for compilation albums.
 * artist       -- main creator of the work
 * comment      -- any additional description of the file.
 * composer     -- who composed the work, if different from artist.
 * copyright    -- name of copyright holder.
 * creation_time-- date when the file was created, preferably in ISO 8601.
 * date         -- date when the work was created, preferably in ISO 8601.
 * disc         -- number of a subset, e.g. disc in a multi-disc collection.
 * encoder      -- name/settings of the software/hardware that produced the file.
 * encoded_by   -- person/group who created the file.
 * filename     -- original name of the file.
 * genre        -- <self-evident>.
 * language     -- main language in which the work is performed, preferably
 *                 in ISO 639-2 format.
 * performer    -- artist who performed the work, if different from artist.
 *                 E.g for "Also sprach Zarathustra", artist would be "Richard
 *                 Strauss" and performer "London Philharmonic Orchestra".
 * publisher    -- name of the label/publisher.
 * service_name     -- name of the service in broadcasting (channel name).
 * service_provider -- name of the service provider in broadcasting.
 * title        -- name of the work.
 * track        -- number of this work in the set, can be in form current/total.
