Playlist XML File format

MPlayer module

The playlist XML file concentrates all information necessary to drive a multiple clips video show. You may also read the reference document here: http://code.google.com/p/moodle-flv-player/wiki/UsingXMLPlaylists.

The XML playlist document structure starts with a root element “trackList” which holds single “track” descriptors.

A track describes a full clip with following information:

location: the url of the media

thumb: an url to a thumbnails image for playlist graphical representation

title: Clip's caption in the playlist

caption: Id. title.

Note : XML Playlists are suitable for content publishers that have an industry level management of their content assets and are more likely to manage publications through textual metadata descriptors.
