An image to represent the TV, movie, or station content. Images should be in JPG or PNG format (JPG preferred). Use a 16:9 aspect ratio, with dimensions at least 853px wide x 480px high for TV shows/seasons/episodes. Larger sizes are better (1920px wide x 1080px high is ideal); Amazon will scale images as needed. Images smaller than 853px wide x 480px, or images following other aspect ratios, will not be used. In those cases, another image source (for example, IMDb) or a placeholder image will be used instead.

For details about station images in a linear catalog, see Requirements for station images in a linear catalog.

⚠Important! When you specify territory or locale tags for an image, that image becomes restricted to only those territories and locales. If your content is available in multiple territories and locales, you must provide territory and locale-specific images for each region. Failing to do so might result in missing images for some users.

An identifier string for a work, station, lineup, broadcast, or schedule day. This value must be at least one character long and must be unique among all other IDs in your catalog. Two works with the same ID will cause your catalog to be rejected by the ingestion system. Devise an ID scheme and use it unfailingly to avoid duplicate IDs. For instance, you could use your Partner ID + the work type + a long identifier such as a GUID, for an ID such as AmazonStudios_ Movie_01152ce2-de7e-44c1-9736-e8f3b15a1ddf. Any scheme that assures unique IDs within your catalog is valid.

Two things to keep in mind when constructing IDs:

When you update an existing catalog, the IDs for your works should not change. If an ID disappears from your catalog, we assume that work is no longer available on your service and it is removed from our index. If it returns later, it should have the same ID as before. If you change ID schemes after ingestion, it can negatively affect the customer experience.
IDs should only contain the following characters: . , -, +, 0-9, A-Z, a-z. If you wish to launch your app with a URI, use LaunchID inside of a LaunchDetails block (a property of offers).

The language in which the work was originally produced, which can refer to either the audio or, in the case of a silent work, on-screen text. A work can contain only one Language element. Also use AudioLanguage to specify any dubbed options. While it is possible to submit your catalog without a language, it's strongly recommended to add the content's language as a best practice, particularly if you have content available in multiple languages. You need to specify the language for each version of your content to ensure Amazon matches your content to the correct language.

If you want to provide your content in multiple regions with different languages, you need to provide localized content in the respective language. For example, if you want to provide an English film in Japan, you need to provide a Japanese version of the film.
