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:

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.
