Step 2: Create a Playlist

To create playlists:

1 In Streaming Server Admin, click Settings, then click Playlists Settings.

2 Click Create New Playlist.

3 Enter a name for the playlist.

4 Use the pop-up menu to set a play mode:

m Sequential: the media is broadcast in the order it appears in the playlist ﬁle. When the

last media ﬁle is done playing, the broadcast stops.

m Sequential Looped: the media is broadcast in the order it appears in the playlist ﬁle.

When the last media ﬁle is done playing, the playlist repeats in the same order.

m Weighted Random: the media is broadcast in random order using the weights you specify

in step 7 to determine how often an item plays. The media continues to play in random

order until you stop the broadcast.

5 If you want the server to record information about the broadcast (including error messages)

in the log ﬁle, click Enable Logging.

6 Click Add/Remove Items to add movie ﬁles to your playlist.

7 Set the order and weight of your media ﬁles.

You can broadcast the media in the playlist sequentially or randomly, either once through the

list or repeatedly through the list.

If you broadcast the media randomly, you can specify a “weight” for each media ﬁle in the

list. The weight, which is a number from 1 to 10, determines how often an item plays. Media

ﬁles that are weighted as 10 play more often than media ﬁles weighted with lower numbers.

(You place the weight after the movie name.) The default weight for a media ﬁle is 10. In

addition to using weights, you can prevent a media ﬁle from playing again until a speciﬁed

number of other media ﬁles play.

8 Set the number of items that must play before other items in the list repeat (if weighted).

9 Click Submit to save your playlist.

Note: Hinted media ﬁles and playlists can be stored anywhere on your server, not just in the

designated Movies Directory. Hinted media ﬁles stored outside of the movies directory can

be broadcast as part of a playlist, but are not directly accessible by QuickTime clients.
