Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for tracking progress of media processing jobs. A system tracking progress of media processing jobs receives a media processing job submitted by a user via an electronic portal, inserts the media processing job as a job entry in a job submission table, sets an initial status for the job entry, processes the media according to parameters associated with the media processing job, maintains a processing history of the media processing job, and updates the initial status based on the processing. The system displays processing history of media processing jobs through an application interface and allows a user to expand and collapse the history to display additional or fewer details of the processing, respectively. The system can generate a virtual representation of a received physical copy of the media and associate the virtual representation with the electronically submitted media processing job.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for using metadata from multiple sources to generate custom extensible markup language files for selected export targets. The system receives metadata associated with a media item and parses the metadata into a group of standardized fields to yield parsed metadata. The system then loads metadata style sheets, wherein each of the metadata style sheets is associated with a respective export target. Next, the system identifies a metadata style sheet from the metadata style sheets based on a selected export target to yield an identified metadata style sheet, and generates a custom extensible markup language file for submission with the media item to the selected export target, wherein the custom extensible markup language file is generated by assembling at least part of the parsed metadata according to the identified metadata style sheet.
