Metadata integration

By sharing your content catalogue and metadata with Titan OS, you can significantly enhance the visibility and discoverability of your content across the platform. This data helps power global search and personalized recommendation features, driving traffic to your app through deeplinking and improving the overall user experience.

Partners can leverage their metadata in two key use cases:

1. Global Search: By sharing your full content catalogue, your titles will be included in Titan OS’s global search function. This enables users to search for and discover your content seamlessly, with results deeplinking directly to your app. Whether a user is searching with intent (prompted search) or browsing (unprompted search), detailed metadata ensures accurate and relevant results, improving content visibility.
2. Featured Recommendations on the Start Page: Partners can showcase a dedicated content row on the start page to highlight recommended content and drive traffic to their app, especially if their app is added to the “Favorites” apps row. This feature allows users to easily discover your key content without opening the app. Some examples of how metadata is used within the UI are provided below.
   • The content row can showcase various types of content, such as new releases, top movies, or other key titles.
   • Recommended content can be provided in several ways:
     • A separate feed or endpoint with your chosen highlighted content
     • A specific list from within your full catalogue
     • Automatically derived from your catalogue (e.g., the last 20 added movies, trending titles, etc.)

​

Examples of how metadata is used within the UI

​

Search

Metadata will be used in search to optimise discovery of content and make searches more accurate.

​

Prompted

When a user knows what they are looking for, metadata ensures accurate results that link directly to your app.

​

Unprompted

When a user is browsing for content, metadata helps surface relevant titles from your catalogue for better discovery.

​

Recommendations

The “Recommended for you” row on Titan OS uses your metadata to provide personalized suggestions, enhancing content engagement.

​

Content Aggregation

In cases where multiple providers offer the same content, metadata helps aggregate options, allowing users to choose from all available sources.
