Best way to create a video play list

The Harry Potter series has a bunch of movies. I think it starts with Chamber of secrets and ends with Deadly Hallows Part 1 and 2. What is the simplest way to create a Harry Potter play list with all the different movies? Is there a simple text file I can create?

Re: Best way to create a video play list

you can create a .m3u playlist, like you would for music. You'll then find it in Videos/Playlist category.

and is there a similar way to create a playlist of individual online files which are not part of a single RSS or html file? for example, direct links to a few online mp4 movies or clips on different sites.

Playlists wont work for online stuff yet. But there is a plugin for that.

yes, LiveFeeds plugin will work but it's not convenient to update and upload playlist file to web site each time when list is updated. i will check playlist plugin.

Error "Provided URL is not valid" for local URLs

hi zip, any reason why Source URL on "Online Resource" form doesn't allow local file URL like file:////C:/apps/Serviio/myFeeds/LiveFeeds.rss? This way there would be no need to upload feed files to a web site for LiveFeeds plugin.

Local URL passes unit test in LiveFeeds plugin but raises the error in Serviio:

Provided URL is not valid

Re: Best way to create a video play list

To be able to store online resources (live and podcasts) as simple XML local files i have converted LiveFeeds plugin into XmlFeed plugin.

it can handle remote and local urls like this http://file:////C:/apps/Serviio/dev/myFeeds/xmlFeed_MyLiveTV.xml
