Creating a Clipstream™ Video playlist
You can play multiple clips in any sequence from
the same Clipstream™ Video applet by employing the VideoPlaylist parameter
and an external text file. In addition, you can specify when certain clips
will play according to server or local (user's) time.
An example of this can be seen here.
Follow the instructions on this page to learn how.
Requirements
Concept
To create and employ a playlist requires that you add the VideoPlaylist parameter to the applet code, create and upload a separate text file that the parameter will call, and edit the existing VideoURL parameters. In addition, you must ensure that all of the separate clips you are referring to in the text file share the same bit rates options i.e. 500k, 350, 250k, etc. Once this is done, when the applet is run, it will refer to the external text file which will inform the applet which files to play and in what order. An example of a single applet using the playlist parameter can be viewed here. Selecting separate video clips The Clipstream™ Video applet requires that each individual clip have the same range of encoded bit rates. It also requires that each video file name follow a similar format. This is because the applet will substitute a common element - called a token - in its referring code. Example:
The table below lists three videos that will be played in sequence, Video A, B, C.
1. Encode each video to be playlisted so that each video has the same range of bit rates 2. Upload each to an easily located folder. Recommended: Putting them all into the same folder will make your job easier. Go to Page Two to learn about modifying the Playlist (.csl) File >> |
