Playlists

Playlist is a listing of sources for playback (for example, a collection of series). It specified in code in file parameter.

var player = new Playerjs({
   id:"player",
   file:[
      {"title":"Title","file":"URL"},
      {"title":"Title","file":"URL"}
   ]
});

You can provide URL to playlist inside text file (file extension is .txt, check cross-domain policy). If you can't use extension txt, try to pass playlist by parameter pl instead file.

var player = new Playerjs({id:"player",file:"http://site.com/playlist.txt"});

The object is enclosed in square brackets, inside the JSON collection  with the following parameters:

The playlist is specified in JSON format. It is enclosed in square brackets, a collection of records with parameters:

Folders

Playlist can contain folders

[
   {"title":"Season 1","folder":
      [
      {"title":"Serie 1/1","file":"URL"},
      {"title":"Serie 1/2","file":"URL"}
      ]
   },
   {"title":"Season 2","folder":
      [
      {"title":"Serie 2/1","file":"URL"},
      {"title":"Serie 2/2","file":"URL"}
      ]
   }
]

By default, the first file opens in the playlist. If it is placed in a folder, it will also automatically open. To avoid this, enable the Open playlist option in the top level in the settings of the plugin Playlist in builder.

Search by id

[
   {"title":"Serie 1","file":"URL","id":"s1"},
   {"title":"Serie 2","file":"URL","id":"s2"},
]

var player = new Playerjs({id:"player",file:"playlist.txt",plstart:"s2"});

Serie 2 starts after launching in this example.
