playlist:how to create a playlist with views? [#404396]

sorry , i didn't find any details in your document,or i missed it
could you please show me where i can find the solution or how you create a playlist?

1.on one node , if i upload several videos , so i need a playlist , so that there is only one video is playing in this node and the others are shows just as a thumbail
2.on one node , if i upload only one video , and there is a views as block in this node which select out some silimar video nodes , so i need a playlist.

in the second situation, i try to use "views:flashvideo" but fail , so i have to use "file-attacth-relationship" and use "fillter:jpg" to solve
but i believe you must have a better solution.

Hi,

I'm not sure you can create a flashvideo playlist through Views (I might be wrong - if so I would love to know how).

Travist - Is this something that is possible or on the module Roadmap?

create views using "node" type
relationship:file:attachment
fillter:file:mime:jpg
field:file:filepath, then using "rewrite output",

though it is not a good idea to use "http://localhost/vblog" , but it really a playlist

do you think so

Hi,

Not sure what you mean.

I'm struggling with this - does anyone have any pointers to getting a playlist working with a view (VIEWS2). Is it currently possible?

Any help would be truely appreicated.

Cheers

This would be possible through a themed view. I've created an XSPF playlist before just using images that are being listed through a view.

You would need to take a look at the theming information on your view (when looking at the Views 2 interface, click on "Theme: Information" at the lower left) and use the instructions there to modify the output of your view so that the HTML being created is actually XSPF XML markup. You can then use the generated view as your playlist. For more information on the format of the XML you need to produce, check out: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashFormats.

Because this is already something that you can produce on your own, I don't think it's necessary that this become part of the FlashVideo module.
