Playlists for Youtube video ?

Post by phibertron » Sat Mar 19, 2011 7:49 pm

Twonky has the mediafusion features for Youtube videos
But every now and then I like to be able to add things to a playlist

What I currently do is use a .WPL playlist file

For ex:
The following has two entries to a video on youtube
to show you how to add to the playlist

Code: Select all

<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
<head>
<meta name="Type" content="V"/>
<title>My Video Playlist</title>
</head>
<body>
<seq>

When viewing this from the web gui with webbrowse
the files are playable/downloadable to the mp4 format

It appears that something is going on to do some of the conversion
when linked fromt he broweser

But when trying to view the media from the PS3
The links show, but will not play or stream

My guess is, we might be able to use the MT: in the device profile
to set a mime type
But since the link is not a file directly
Im not sure of what I would use, SWF,FLV, or other

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to enable the ps3 to play them?
Though, the ones from mediafusion are fine
