[Playlist] Drupal XSPF updates

[Lucas Gonze]

What's excellent about these projects is that they show the value of 
open practices in a time when silo'd social networks and playlist 
vendors are actively closing up.  In this case the Drupal community, 
player developers, and XSPF community are all contributing 
functionality, and the end result is beyond what a single developer 
could do.

The Media Mover suite of modules has just gotten better with some 
improvements that I just released to the XSPF Playlist module. Media 
Mover now offers an end to end process for accepting media to getting it 
live on a Drupal site and integrating it with a flash video player.

XSPF Playlist is a XML playlist format which a few flash players 
support- Jeroen Wijering's flash player being one of the most common 
ones- gives people deploying video on their site some interesting options.

For one, it means that that not only can you deliver diverse content 
through a single player, but you can allow users to embed this content 
in a page, and then control the content that gets delivered to the 
embeded players.

Because Drupal is driving the play list, you can start manipulating the 
the contents of the playlist based on on various parameters. For 
example, I have a node that has video content on it that is categorized 
as "France". When building the playlist for this node, we can append 
additional items on this list that match the category "France". 
Likewise, you could set up something like a channel where you 
dynamically serve content based on a set of parameters- categories, when 
it was posted, the user that posted it, etc.

xspf_playlist already supports views and with the new 
hook_xspf_playlist_add, you can have modules easily add bumper content 
to to the playlist. It seems to me that both advertisers as well as 
people wanting to provide targeted content could find this extremely 
interesting.

xspf_playlist module generates a XSPF playlist from files that are 
attached to a node.
It was designed for Jeroen Wijering"s flash player, though it should 
work with other
flash players. The admin interface allows the administrator to select 
what node types
it works on, choose a default thumbnail file to use, and forthcoming 
support for CCK
fields. It also supports multiple file types (audio, video, flash) that 
are supported
by the flash player.

You can generate a xspf playlist for a node by using the url:
http//mysite.com/xspf/node/NID
where NID is the node id of the node that you want the playlist for.
