Azure Media Services input metadata schema \| Microsoft Docs	The topic gives an overview of Azure Media Services input metadata schema.	Juliako	cfowler		media-services		d72848e2-4b65-4c84-94bc-e2a90a6e7f47	media-services	media	na	na	article	07/19/2017	juliako

Input Metadata

An encoding job is associated with an input asset (or assets) on which you want to perform some encoding tasks. Upon completion of a task, an output asset is produced. The output asset contains video, audio, thumbnails, manifest, etc. The output asset also contains a file with metadata about the input asset. The name of the metadata XML file has the following format: <asset_id>_metadata.xml (for example, 41114ad3-eb5e-4c57-8d92-5354e2b7d4a4_metadata.xml), where <asset_id> is the AssetId value of the input asset.

If you want to examine the metadata file, you can create a SAS locator and download the file to your local computer. You can find an example on how to create a SAS locator and download a file Using the Media Services .NET SDK Extensions.

This topic discusses the elements and types of the XML schema on which the input metada (<asset_id>_metadata.xml) is based. For information about the file that contains metadata about the output asset, see Output Metadata.

Note

You can find the Schema Code an XML example at the end of this topic.
