Edit playlist with xml

Create flash video player for web with PlayerDIY Web Player, a playlist will be generated automatically. And if the “Out File” option on “Publish” interface is checked, a separated playlist file named medialist.xml will be published.

Playlist file is very import for many player users, especially for the web designers who have abundance of videos on their website. Because
1. It makes videos in better order (e.g.: the related videos list);
2. Work with web programming language like PHP, no matter how many videos in it can be played on website. Have a look at the example: Play video in new page;
3. You can add, delete or modify video features in web FLV player with it.

The following example will show you how to modify playlist file to meet your needs.

Example:
In this example, I input 2 videos (Web Player.flv and swf to video.flv) in order into PlayerDIY Web Player. Then I got a web player like below. Please pay attention to the name of the videos in the playlist.

And the auto-generated playlist xml file like below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist>
<playitem caption="Web Player" path="Web%20Player.flv" image="Web%20Player.jpg" options="" clickurl="" clicktarget="_blank" endurl="" styleoftarget="browser" endtarget=""/>
<playitem caption="swf to video" path="swf%20to%20video.flv" image="swf%20to%20video.jpg" options="" clickurl="" clicktarget="_blank" endurl="" styleoftarget="browser" endtarget=""/>
</playlist>

In order to make the playlist more meet my needs, I changed their order and the caption value of the two videos, and added a new video ppt2dvd.flv which caption value is ppt2dvd. The edited playlist file like below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist>
<playitem caption="swf to video" path="swf%20to%20video.flv" image="swf%20to%20video.jpg" options="" clickurl="" clicktarget="_blank" endurl="" styleoftarget="browser" endtarget=""/>
<playitem caption="Web Player" path="Web%20Player.flv" image="Web%20Player.jpg" options="" clickurl="" clicktarget="_blank" endurl="" styleoftarget="browser" endtarget=""/>
<playitem caption="ppt2dvd" path="ppt2dvd.flv" image="ppt2dvd.jpg" clickurl="" clicktarget="_blank" endurl="" styleoftarget="browser" endtarget="" options=""/>
</playlist>
