The subtitle stream will use ``ducks`` as title. The ``track_meta`` header is not part of the core EDL format. It may be changed or removed at any time, depending on mpv's internal requirements. +Global metadata +=============== + +The special ``global_tags`` header can set metadata fields (aka tags) of the EDL +file. This metadata is supposed to be informational, much like for example ID3 +tags in audio files. Due to lack of separation of different kinds of metadata it +is unspecified what names are allowed, how they are interpreted, and whether +some of them affect playback functionally. (Much of this is unfortunately +inherited from FFmpeg. Another consequence of this is that FFmpeg "normalized" +tags are recognized, or stuff like replaygain tags.) + +Example:: + + !global_tags,title=bla,something_arbitrary=even_more_arbitrary + +Any parameter names are allowed. Repeated use of this adds to the tag list. If +``!new_stream`` is used, the location doesn't matter. + +May possibly be ignored in some cases, such as delayed media opening. + Delayed media opening ===================== |
