This article will tell you two ways to edit your playlist without using the publishing wizard again.
After we published the player we will get four files: one HTML file (optional), one JPG file as the first frame (optional), one SWF file, one MMPL file.
The SWF file is the player and the MMPL file (in red) is the playlist.
1. Edit your playlist in the code directly.
Open the playlist in Notepad. And then you can get the code like this:
Well let’s copy the code down. You can see this: < ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? > < mxplayer_playerlist ver="1" name="new playlist" >< playlist_items>< item type="1" videoURL="E:\Flash\66565.flv" thumbnail="C:\Documents and Settings\Ted_PC\Desktop\test_1.playlist\66565.jpg" rtmpConn="" >66565< /item>< item type="1" videoURL="E:\Flash\cat.flv" thumbnail="C:\Documents and Settings\Ted_PC\Desktop\test_1.playlist\cat.jpg" rtmpConn="" >cat< /item >< item type="1" videoURL="E:\Flash\ge1.flv" thumbnail="C:\Documents and Settings\Ted_PC\Desktop\test_1.playlist\ge1.jpg" rtmpConn="">ge1< /item >< item type="1" videoURL="E:\Flash\ge2.flv" thumbnail="C:\Documents and Settings\Ted_PC\Desktop\test_1.playlist\ge2.jpg" rtmpConn="">ge2 < /item >< item type="1" videoURL="E:\Flash\ge3.flv" thumbnail="C:\Documents and Settings\Ted_PC\Desktop\test_1.playlist\ge3.jpg" rtmpConn="">ge3< /item >< item type="1" videoURL="E:\Flash\ge4.flv" thumbnail="C:\Documents and Settings\Ted_PC\Desktop\test_1.playlist\ge4.jpg" rtmpConn="">ge4< /item>< /playlist_items >< /mxplayer_playerlist >
Here “< item type="1" videoURL="E:\Flash\66565.flv" thumbnail="C:\Documents and Settings\Ted_PC\Desktop\test_1.playlist\66565.jpg" rtmpConn="">66565< /item>” is a where you need to modify, and every video in your playlist has a paragraph of code like this.
a. If you want to change one video to another one. Find the video’s code first and then change the video’s path like this: “videoURL=” is the parameter to tell where the video is. For example if you want to change the first video (E:\Flash\66565.flv) to another video which is in D:\Flash\5555.flv, you can just copy the path “D:\Flash\5555.flv” and then replace the “E:\Flash\66565.flv”.
The video file path in the playlist file could be an absolute path, HTTP URL and a relative path according to the player .mmpl file path.
Save the changes.b. If you want to add one video into the playlist. You can copy “< item type="1" videoURL="E:\Flash\66565.flv" thumbnail="C:\Documents and Settings\Ted_PC\Desktop\test_1.playlist\66565.jpg" rtmpConn="">66565< /item>” first and then change the video’s path to the new video’s path. But please notice that you need to add the code between < playlist_items> and < /playlist_items>. Save the changes.
c. Delete a video which is already in your playlist. First find the video’s code and then just delete it. Save the changes.
2. Edit the playlist with Moyea FLV Player.
The playlist can be opened by Moyea FLV Player by default. After you open it you can see it like this:
The red marked is the playlist.
Please make sure the “Display Playlist” option is selected under the “View” menu. And then you can edit it with FLV Player easily.
a. Add a video into the playlist.
Right click in the playlist area and you see that you have three ways to add videos into your playlist.
“Add Files” and “Add Folder” means to add videos from your local desk. “Add Url” means that you can add a video with its URL.
b. Delete video from your playlist.
Firstly you need to select the file you want to delete. Right click on it and choose “Delete”
c. Change video in your playlist.
Well, as to this option you can just delete the one you don’t want and then add the one you want into the playlist.
At last, it is recommended to change the playlist’s name as the same as your player’s and save the playlist.
You will get a playlist and a folder with the new added video’s snapshot.
