hello...i cant seem to find any real documentation on the api for this...can you help?

also, specifically, i am using imagerotator and swftools to create xml file:


$playlist = swftools_playlist_from_upload(307);
print swf_list($playlist);

but i need to pass image title and description to the player...how does one accomplish this? snippet would be amazing. thanks!

I've set up the demo pages at http://emspace.com.au/demo/swftools as simple documentation by example. But you're right, there is a lot of flexibility that is not documented yet.

The documentation will be here:

thanks!

ive been there, but have not seen a parameter for passing additional info (i.e title/description) to xml for output in the rotator playlist.....right now, i can only pass the image itself....using the above code snippet.

really apreciate your help!

thanks

This should possibly be happening automatically. I assume you want the file description on the uploaded file to be used as the caption. I will check the imagerotator api and find out why this is not working. I'll do this in a couple days.

ok thanks!!! here is the xml ...i have no idea where the "hey there" is coming from:

<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
            <title></title>
            <info></info>
            <annotation></annotation>
            <trackList>
            <track>
<title>files/images/image1.preview.jpg</title>
<creator></creator>
<location></location>
<info>Hey there</info>
</track>
</trackList>
           </playlist>

Hi is there any action on this,

The documentation for any playlist or useful integration is quite patchy for playlists.

I really need the ability to create full playlists for an audio project for a UK magazine which use remote hosts for the files.

Therefore being able to use CCK with the playlist creator would be ideal. However so far not much luck.
