manifest file

Hi I have been trying to figure out what meta-data parameters are available to go into the manifest file.
The meta data is described in component reference manual for SDK 3.0 does not seem to be complete as the release notes and DesignGuide mention other parameters, which are required for the channel store and the info button information. Has anyone got a complete list of the current meta data tags that can be used. The documentation also mentions looking a the simpleinfo app, which appears to be the same as all the other examples.

Thanks

    Component Reference pages 11, 12, 13, and 14. Simpleinfo isn't mentioned at all in the component reference guide for 3.0 SDK that I have?

    The contents of the application manifest are:
    major_version=1
    minor_version=2
    build_version=150
    title=My Video Application
    subtitle=providing the latest in cool videos
    mm_icon_focus_hd=pkg:/images/mm_icon_focus_hd.png
    mm_icon_side_hd=pkg:/images/mm_icon_side_hd.png
    mm_icon_focus_sd=pkg:/images/mm_icon_focus_sd.png
    mm_icon_side_sd=pkg:/images/mm_icon_side_sd.png

    Anything from 2.6 and newer is optional.
    screensaver_title
    screensaver_private
    hidden
    requires_audiometadata
    requires_mkv

    audiometadata is explained near the end of the component reference pdf - page 127.

    Thanks

    I was hoping there might be a few more as some what I could surmise from the documentation the following tags are also availalbe

    description=
    channel_name=
    parental_hints=
    additional_requirements=

    and developer= might also be valid

    mixe,

    Those parameters aren't valid in the manifest. We do have fields like that in the channel store and when you submit your channel for publishing you will see where you will enter them on the developer site.

    Thanks, but in that case how do you set up the description text on the info '*' button

    I tried adding description= and works!
