Playlist – Saket Jajodia

Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.
Today in this post I will tell you how you can add and watch any YouTube video in Watch Later playlist. YouTube recently introduced (not officially announced till now) a new feature by which you can watch any YouTube video later by adding it in Watch Later playlist with a single click. Like whenever you are surfing on internet (not on YouTube) you show some YouTube videos embed on a webpage and you want to see them but you are busy at that moment so you won’t be able to see those videos at that moment so you can add them on Watch Later playlist.

In every YouTube embedded videos you will see a Watch later button or plus sign YouTube Watch Later Plus Sign at the bottom-right corner when you will click on them that video will get added in a special playlist called Watch Later made by YouTube in your YouTube account. But you need be logged in to your YouTube account to see that button.

Now to see those videos from that playlist you need to go to YouTube.com –> Account –> My Videos & Playlists –> Watch Later

Or you can directly go to this URL YouTube.com/my_watch_later_list

If you are login to your YouTube account you will be able to see the Watch later button or plus sign in below embedded videos

Watch later button

Plus sign

I like this feature as some times it happens with me I am busy and can’t watch any video and I really want to watch them so instead of doing a bookmark you can add these video in Watch Later playlist so if you are not on your computer also then also you will able to watch them.

Do let me know what you think about this feature, did you find it useful and how it can help you

Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.

Today in this post I will tell you how you can create playlist using JW Player. As I told in my last post that few readers asked me how they can create Playlist using JW Player and how they can host files of JW Player in Google code. So in last post I told you how you can host files in Google code and if you want to know how to use and earn from JW Player Click here.

To make a playlist using JW Player you need to have an XML file where you will put all the videos link of your playlist.

Here how you can create JW Player Playlist XML file

1. Open notepad in your computer

2. Copy the below code

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<playlist version='1' xmlns='http://xspf.org/ns/0/'>
<trackList>

   <track>
      <title>Video Name</title>
      <location>Video URL</location>
      <annotation>Video Description</annotation>
      <duration>Video Length (Time)</duration>
   </track>

</trackList>
</playlist>

Now copy the bold portion and paste it after </track> as much time you want (as much video will be in a playlist)

3. Now change few things

i) Video Name With the name of the video

ii) Video URL with the URL of the video

iii) Video Description With the video description

iv) Video Length (Time) with the video length

Note: – Every time put different Name, URL, Description and Length

4. After you made the playlist save that file

i) Press Crtl+S (for save option)

ii) Now change the Save as type: from Text Documents (*.txt) to All files (*.*)

iii) An give the name of the file and after the name give .xml

iv) Then click Save button

5. Now upload this file to Google code hosting server or on your hosting server

To know how to upload file to Google code click here.

Here how you can make playlist using JW Player

1. Go to Blogger.com –> Click on Design for the following blog –> Edit HTML

2. Find the </head> tag

3. Just before the end of head tag place the below code (if you haven’t place this code before for JW Player)

<script 
src="http://jajodiasaket.googlecode.com/files/swfobject.js"
type="text/javascript"/>

4. Now place the below code where you want to
display your JW Player Playlist

<div name='jwppl1' id='jwppl1'>
<script type="text/javascript"> 
var so = new SWFObject
('https://player.longtailvideo.com/player.swf ','single'
,'600','320','8');
so.addParam('wmode','transparent');
so.addParam('allowScriptAccess','always');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addVariable('fullscreen','true');
so.addVariable('width','600');
so.addVariable('height','320');
so.addVariable('playlist','right');
so.addVariable('playlistsize','200');
so.addVariable('file','playlist.xml');
so.addVariable('image','image.jpg');
so.addVariable('plugins', 'ltas,gapro-1,googlytics-1,fbit-1');
so.addVariable('ltas.cc','AdSolution ID');
so.addVariable('gapro.accountid','Google Analytics ID');
so.write('jwppl1');
</script></div>

Change the following things before you place the code:

a) Change The Longtail Video AdSolution ID

Change the AdSolution ID with your Longtail Video AdSolution ID and if you don’t have the AbSolution ID then you can sign up for free, to know how to signup Click Here . Or if you don’t want to show ads just remove this entire line ( so.addVariable('ltas.cc', 'AdSolution ID'); )

b) Change the Google Analytics ID whit your ID (ID is something like UA-XXXXXXXX-XX)

c) Change the playlist.xml with your Playlist XML file

d) Change the image.jpg with your preview image URL (it it not necessary if you are using YouTube video URL)

There is a facebook share button plugin I have given if you want to remove it just remove the ,fbit-1 from this line so.addVariable(‘plugins’, ‘ltas,gapro-1,googlytics-1,fbit-1‘); .

Note: – If you want to add two player in one page then change the 1 in jwppl1 (in 1^st line and in last 2^nd line) with 2 in 2^nd player, if you want to add three player then change it with 3 in 3^rd player and so on.
