roVideoMetadata?

Are there plans to implement roVideoMetadata in the near future similar to roAudioMetadata and roImageMetadata?

Not that i'm aware of, however, we do have a new SDK feature in 5.2 that supports reading timed ID3 tags during video playback

Note that this applies to HLS video streams.

Re: roVideoMetadata?

Wow, that seems like a major oversight to me. 😕

I'm not clear on the timed ID3 tags, but if its only during playback then that's not an adequate alternative. I'd like to be able to pull ID3 tags prior to playing (usb) video files to gather year, location/comments, etc for layout organization.

If there's a way to vote for features I'd love to know how/where it is. This seems like an obvious feature since the Roku's main interaction is with video content. On a side note, how long before 5.2 is released? I'm not interested in beta trials at this time, just stable for my home device.
