===== MediaPlayer Module: Playlist File Format =====


==== XML Playlist ====

The Playlist file is an XML file providing a large amount of condensed information on the clips to play in the MediaPlayer. You can find more information on playlist technologies at the URL:

 [[http://code.google.com/p/moodle-flv-player/wiki/UsingXMLPlaylists]]

The playlist file is built from a root element "trackList" that contains ''track'' descriptors. 

A clip descriptor (track) provides a certain amount of information on the clip: 

   * **location:**  The media url
   * **thumb:** The url of the thumbnail associated with the clip
   * **title:** The title of the clip in the playlist
   * **caption:** Synonym of title (Title)

**Note:** This feature is provided as a utility for operators who already have a media heritage built in a private media library, and who are more likely to configure publications by producing text descriptors than by moving the original resources.
