2017-03-27 02:41:52 Michi Henning description Looking through the mcloud provider code, it looks like the provider adds additional metadata entries (which is fine). But these do not have any namespace. If we end up adding a well-known metadata item that happens to have the same name as a provider-specific one, we can end up with clashes (such as our version of the item having a different type). The mcloud provider should prefix all its provider-specific metadata, that is, use "mcloud:suffix" and "mcloud:thumbnail_url", instead of "suffix" and "thumbnail_url".
