The mediapackage already is completely universal, you can attach anything to 
it, including catalogs that contain YouTube or Videolecture.net specific 
information. It just happened that we decided to have our own scheduling system 
create dublin core catalogs, but you can easily implement your own. Just make 
sure that in this case you implement a MediapackageMetadataProvider 
implementation that is able to provide a subset of metadata to the mediapackage 
(see that interface for more details, it's essentially the title, the series 
and some other things).
