Originating owner fields (Originating Owner Group ID – OOGID and Originating Owner Broadcaster Content ID – OOBCID) are used to identify third party content on a particular Player. Content IDs which Player sends in tags for OD content correspond to BCIDs generated by Player owner, and it is important that Originating owner information is correctly populated in CDMF (via XML) for those BCIDs.
...
Playtime in this check is driven by viewed 3rd party content in Census, it will not include Playtime from Originating player (if applicable).
Output columns
Column name | Description |
|---|---|
Player | Player name |
Content owner | Player owner or 3rd Party broadcaster name |
Activity** | Live or On Demand – **only applicable for playtime version |
Blank OOBCID | Count/percentage of records (or playtime) where OOGID is provided, but OOBCID is blank |
OOBCID matched only to CDMF | Count/percentage of records (or playtime) where OOBCID is only matched to CDMF |
OOBCID matched only to TX log | Count/percentage of records (or playtime) where OOBCID is only matched to TX log |
OOBCID matched to both CDMF and TX log | Count/percentage of records (or playtime) where OOBCID is present as master record in CDMF and matched to TX log |
Not matched to anything | Count/percentage of records (or playtime) where OOBCID is provided but it is not present as standalone record in CDMF or matched to TX log |
Own content | Count/percentage of records (or playtime) where OOGID is not provided, or is same as BGID, so we assume it is own content and OOBCID is not checked |
Total | Total count |
In summary reports, columns will be colour coded as follows:

Red columns require attention and the goal is to minimize the percentage in these categories.
Amber colour in this check indicates that metadata is partial for those records – i.e. XML submission is in place, but TX log part needs improvement and vice versa. These cases should also be investigated. The impact of incomplete metadata is as follows:
- OOBCIDs that are only provided by Originating owner in TX log, and not submitted via XML will be autogenerated based on TX log
- Viewing for those records will be reported in Dovetail, however it will be calibrated using potentially unavailable metadata which means that audience levels and profiles will be less accurate.
- OOBCIDs that are matched to CDMF but not to TX logs will be calibrated in Dovetail with metadata provided in CDMF
- However, viewing for those Content IDs will not be reported in ‘As Broadcast’ mode due to missing link to linear transmission as such a programme analysed in ‘As Broadcast’ mode will appear to have zero non-TV viewing.
- Please note that some of these Content ID’s can represent OD only content, in which case we will not be able to link them to logs, but this would be fully compliant. The viewing would be reported ‘As Viewed’ only.
- If OOBCID is blank, or provided but not matched to anything, the viewing will still be calibrated in ONE file, but will not be reported in 4 screen dashboard or in ‘As Broadcast’ mode as there will be no link to linear transmission. It will be reported ‘As Viewed’ only.
Detail report will only contain records where OOBCID is blank, not matched to anything, matched only to CDMF or only to TX log. Records where OOBCID is matched to both CDMF and TX log and records for own content will not be present in detail report.
Data in detail report will be sorted based on OOBCID status in following order:
- Content with blank OOBCID
- Content with OOBCID not matched to anything
- Content with OOBCID only matched to CDMF
- Content with OOBCID only matched to TX log
