B.2.1 ContentObjects

The structure contains the overall information for the content package.

B.2.1.1 title

The title property is a string that speciﬁes the name of the content. Use the convention:

title "<stock symbol> <titlename>" ,

For example, if you want to load the content for the title, “Bambi”, ﬁll in the title ﬁeld as follows:

title "SUNW Bambi"

The Media Stream Manager replaces the space between <stock symbol> and <titlename> with an underbar, so that the name of the title displays (to a Media Stream Manager application) as SUNW_Bambi.

The convention of using a stock symbol in conjunction with the title name allows the Media Stream Manager to distinguish among titles of like content that originate from different sources.

B.2.1.2 version

The version property is a string that speciﬁes the version of the content-input format used to generate the content package. The version number of the format speciﬁed by this document is SUNW.00.01.

B.2.1.3 format

The format property is a string that speciﬁes the encapsulation used in the content package. Currently supported encapsulation types are:

MPEGTS

MPEG-2 transport packet encapsulation wherein the server transports data in units of 188-byte packets.
