Updated UMC Catalog and Availability Data Interface specification
The UMC Catalog Data Interface Specification has been updated. Notable updates include:
- New title type “original” to indicate the title of the content in the country and language where it was first released or produced.
- The option to provide IMDB identifiers as external IDs.
Additional updates to the UMC Availability Data Interface Specification are as follows:
- Updated playable properties schema. This is not a backward compatible change.
- New playable properties to support 3D content.
- A new locator type to support specifying locators for VisionOS.
- Primary locale made required for audio locales.
- The ability to explicitly specify timed text locale types (e.g. subtitles) to be ignored.
- Verbiage for dictionary for audio formats updated for DD5.1 and DD7.1+.
- Verbiage for device location restrictions updated to indicate that this is supported for Apple Subscription Video services.
Please note that if you update to 3.6, you cannot revert to a previous spec version.
