18,New Feature - Playlists,anna,,"This ticket includes notes from previous incarnations of this feature request.

YouTube, Vimeo etc. have playlist features, allowing the user to save videos on an arbitrary basis into a list.

Would be great to be able to do this with an ajax style interface, to be able to search for videos, add them to a user's playlist, delete them and re-order them.

Also to be able to play these sequentially in the browser, also fullscreen, and skip between them.

Also to have the ""Add to Playlist"" button below each video, with a menu pop-up for a user's playlists.

Also to have an RSS2 vodcast generated on a per-playlist basis (custom vodcasts).

More ideas below....

Use RSS feeds down the side of the fullscreen page generated by Flowplayer as a video playlist system.

A column down the right-hand side of a fullscreen page such as [http://flv.engagemedia.org/fullscreen.html?config=%7BinitialScale%3A%27fit%27%2CfullScreenScriptURL%3A%27http%3A//flv.engagemedia.org//fullscreen.js%27%2Cloop%3Afalse%2CautoBuffering%3Atrue%2CautoPlay%3Atrue%2CbaseURL%3A%27http%3A//flv.engagemedia.org/%27%2CvideoFile%3A%27anna/videos/granactionfull.flv%27%2CsplashImageFile%3A%27flash_splash.jpg%27%7D this]

This could be a javascript-generated list of links to RSS feeds, and of feeds themselves, to enable the user to browse a playlist of videos to watch fullscreen based on:

 * tags - playlist of latest (date created) videos in each tag
 * favourites - playlist of latest (date created) videos in the member's favourites list
 * countries - playlist of latest (date created) videos in each country
 * genres - playlist of latest (date created) videos in each genre
 * member - playlist of latest (date created) videos in a Member's video folder

There would be three levels to navigate through:

 * list of all available areas - tags, favourites, countries, genres, members
 * list or cloud of eg. tagcloud of all tags, or all countries
 * list of actual videos within eg. one all videos in East Timor category

Clicking links would pull in the new RSS feed or other template data, without interrupting the Flash video playing. 

Playlist functionality would include the ability to loop playback. This would be really handy for installations etc. (though heavy on the data usage of somebody's connection, and on our data transfer on our server..). Of course it could be intelligent enough to not reload each video, but play from the cached version on a user's local machine, if the file already exists.
