Abstract: In a system for the customization of media content metadata, media content metadata includes a plurality of records which are associated with a particular type of media content and each of the records includes a plurality of fields for defining the type of media content. At least one end user device is capable of displaying the media content metadata, and a content server is operable to obtain or receive the metadata from one or more available metadata providers. The content server is also operable to transmit the metadata to the end user device in response to a request from the end user device. A customization scheme is utilized by the content server to customize the quantity of records or the types of fields included within each record which is transmitted to the end user device in response to the request.

Abstract: A system and method for the customization of media content metadata that is transmitted to any one of a plurality of end user devices of differing types. The system is adapted to modify individual records or even individual fields from the entire gamut of available metadata into a metadata feed which is optimally suited for display upon the type of end user device. Additionally, the system is also able to modify the records or individual fields from a list of all metadata instances according to pre-recorded user preferences. The result is a system that optimally utilizes the current connection path in order to reduce congestion thereon, or to alleviate any user potential frustration caused by sporadic performance of the overloaded interconnection path.
