    This flashvar can be used to add metadata on the created resource, before the player created the media element. 
    The matching metadata values for this namespace will be passed in a different flashvar: metadataValues[i] (the i number should match this flashvar i value).
  • metadataValues[i] = String
    This flashvar can be used to add metadata on the created resource, before the player created the media element. The metadata namespace is passed on metadataNamespace[i].
    The syntax of this flashvar is comma separated key=value strings. each key=value string represents a new metadata value.

For example:
metadataNamespace0=testNamespace
metadataValues0=first%3Done%2Csecond%3Dtwo%2Cthird%3Dthree
(encoded value of first=one,second=two,third=three)

From a plugin developers can set the flashvars through configProxy.vo.flashvars, and there’s no need to encode the values.

14247 PlaylistAPI Plugin Added support in new property: "initItemEntryId" - determines the entryId to start from.
- 508 Player New skin was created. Previous skin had redundant "registerFont" action that caused exception in KMC. The location of the new skin: /content/uiconf/kaltura/kmc/appstudio/kdp3/eagle/skin/v3.5.52/skin508.swf
1670 (QC) Fader Plugin Added support in "includeForeground" attribute. This attribute determines if foreground should also be included in objects that will be faded out.
14744 Core Fixed bug in "metadataProfileId": passing this flashvar caused KDP to request metadata profile instead of metadata data.
14649 Core Added workaround for OSMF bug: sometimes the player would go into "buffering" state, though it was still playing and not buffering. The outcome was that sometimes the buffering spinner was shown even while video was playing.
- (PS) PlaylistAPI Plugin Added a new notification: "playlistAutoMoveNext" - this notification is dispatched when the next playlist item is selected automatically.
- AudioDescription Plugin Fixed issue where binding "file" value to custom data field didn't work.
- Core "kalsig" parameter was added to all the requests KDP sends.
