Class: MediaMetadata

  • chrome.cast.media.MediaMetadata is a class that represents common media metadata, used to describe media information or sections within a media container.

  • It includes properties like metadataType, queueItemId, sectionDuration, and others to define various aspects of the media content.

  • The MediaMetadata constructor requires a type parameter specifying the type of metadata, such as movie, music track, or photo.

  • It has properties for specifying section start times and durations, useful for describing segments within a larger media file or live stream.

  • While type property is deprecated, developers should now use the metadataType property instead for specifying the type of media.
