Playlist Class

This class is used to generate and cache a playlist using common directory structure. It works by searching through the playlists directory for a series of directories used to generate a playlist (the default is called "default"), and then populating the XML tracklist based on the directories which hold the media in the playlist. Each directory can hold a video or audio track along with an image used as the thumbnail and album art. The directories inside each playlist directory should be labeled "track" followed by the playlist number of the item to play in the player.

For example, if you wish to have a playlist with 3 different songs with their respective album art, your directory structure might look like the following...

playlists

  • default

    • track1

      • Jack Johnson - Good People.mp3
      • AlbumArt.jpg
    • track2
      • 311 - Amber.mp3
      • AlbumArt.jpg
    • track3
      • Modest Mouse - Missed the Boat.mp3
      • AlbumArt.jpg

Once this class builds the playlist, it then caches it by creating an XML file on your server so that each subsequent request for the same playlist will only dump the contents of a file rather than search through directories.

Example: To print out a playlist called "myplaylist", you would use the following PHP.

<?php $playlist = new Playlist( 'myplaylist' ); $playlist->show(); ?>

This code will then look inside the "playlists/myplaylist" directory for a series of directories to define a playlist, and return that in XML form to be used by any common player, including the Dash Media Player.
