metadata metaconfusion

Hey guys,

I am (really) new to this. So this question may sound a bit uninformed :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I want to bring a cloudplayer playlist into ROKU as a series. I understand that I need to pull the xml feed from the cloudplayer (so that my content updates dynamically whenever I upload something new). But would the metadata (title, description, episode number etc) also transfer over, or do I need to add additional bit(s) of code for that in my ROKU pkg to make sure the mapping works out the way I want?
Thanks!!!

It might be beneficial to take a look at a working sample from the SDK, specifically the simplevideoplayer sample. It doesn’t use an Amazon Cloud based feed specifically, but the code for parsing the XML that contains the video and other metadata content is similar in most cases.
