Hi I have downloaded the application and it looks great. However i am trying to make a playlist of severl MP4 files. When i load more than one video it plays multiple of them at the same time. Why does this happen? Also can i change the playlist to add new videos by editting the XML file?

Hi,

please add the playlist.xml so I can check what the problem might be. Could you explain what you mean by

When i load more than one video it plays multiple of them at the same time.

I don't get it ;-) Just a guess: If you use a parallel playlist, you need to give each video a separate layer or channel. Else, the Client will be confused of what is playing. If you want all clips played in a row, use a sequential playlist (by unchecking the P(arallel) checkbox. In there, clips may have or have not the same layer and channel.

And yes, you can edit the playlist.xml file, but this has none effect to the client until you load the edited playlist.

Hi mcdikki,

I feel like such an idiot right now. I had not set it to a sequential playlist. :'( .

Thank you so much for your response. However about reloading that xml. Is there a way I can make it auto refresh? Even on a specific keypress?

Not yet, I'm sorry.
But there will be a new function in the next release (no due date) which adds a plugininterface for triggers. Then you will be able to trigger actions like play, stop etc. and loading a playlist too. This might by a timed trigger or something like this.

But at the moment, you need to edit the playlist in your client.
