Content Management

Detailed Description

The Content Management module contains APIs that provide abstracted access to multimedia or other content, regardless of the location of that content.

The Media Cataloger controls the processes that collect and maintain file metadata stores. Applications can use the Cataloger APIs to interact with the catalog, including the following actions:

Register and unregister a directory
Index or unindex a single file
Process and update the catalog
Copy a file and its extracted metadata, without re-extracting that metadata
Check whether an extractor exists to support a specified file type

The Media Selector Data Model stores metadata for all available media files. These metadata APIs provide access to metadata for applications that manipulate files.

The APIs in the Media File library can be used to alleviate the problems associated with storage and retrieval of media from a device.

Volume services APIs provide a simple way to deal with devices, plug-in cards, and other dynamically mounted media.

Use these APIs in combination with the "Content Management" manual provided in the SDK.
