What do MP4 metadata tags such as "gssd" or "gsst" mean? -


After

I am removing metadata from mp4 files and have found some suggestions that I could not recognize:" gssd ", "GSST", "gstd" and "gspu" are some of them

I know the keys defined for the iTunes (in the AtomicParsley's website), but those .mp4 files will not appear in I have analyzed with a hex editor. Instead, I think that this is not to say-me-some keys are not too respected to their values: their type is text and they like "0", "300,953" or "B4A7D6381HH"

Also have been introduced with these tags before to see? What do they mean?

After the

and suggest that those meta tags are added by Google for tracking purposes.

I did a little bit of testing myself, I took a video that I had uploaded to VEMEO and checked the metadata using MediaInfo. This tag did not include any of the GSST , gstd , gssd , gshh section in general section or any other In.

Next I uploaded Vimeo videos downloaded on YouTube. I once again proceeded to download the video and checked the Meta tag. Found that meta tags were present

  GSST:. 0 gstd: 156,990 gssd: B4A7DD6E1MM1359518628237025 gshh: r1---sn-p5qlsu7r.c.youtube.com   

Using Chrome's Developer Tools & gt; Resource XHR indicates videoplayback such as gshh This page has a direct link and is being embedded in the file. I could not determine what others have a shop.


Minor Update

I came back today and use my YouTube editing capabilities to add a filter to my video. I downloaded the video and some values ​​have changed.

  GSST: 0 GSTD: 156850 GSDD: BADC 235C1mm 135 9 9 9 9 599 51718 GSH: R1 --- SN-P5q7ynl7.c.youtube.com   

The superuser question noted that some of these values ​​change. In this example, the same video, only gstd and gssd have been replaced with the edit by YouTube, I thought gssd hash Maybe, but I did not find any evidence to support this idea.

For the curious, this video I used to test.
