45. An arrangement in a user equipment configured to be connected to a communication network, the communication network being adapted for delivering media streams from a media server node to user equipment, for using metadata which is received at the user equipment from a metadata server node and is related to media content, the arrangement comprising:
-
a second receiving element for receiving adapted metadata, which is adapted considering status information; a personalizing element for personalizing the adapted metadata using user profile information; a second transmitting element for transmitting the personalized adapted metadata to a media client, the media client being adapted to receive media content, to process media content and to output media content to a display device so that it can be viewed by a user; and a media client for displaying media content to a user by outputting media content to a display device; wherein the displayed media content comprises the personalized adapted meta data, or wherein the displayed media content is selected based on the personalized adapted metadata. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48)
