I have a single Player window being loaded using a preset titled 'default' and then a playlist only preset aptly titled 'playlist-only'.

This playlist-only preset is set to be the playlist for the default player.

When I add a second playlist to the display, it will not launch videos in the second playlist using the same preset as the first list. The first playlist in the display continues to work fine.

Please advise... Eventually I am trying to get 4 play lists on the display which can be show through tabs.

Thanks in advance! :)

I got same issue with player to player feature. I even tried to create additional presets to be used by different playlist-only blocks. Seems only the first block playlist can trigger the target mediafront player.

Same issue. Multiple playlists worked fine on my Drupal 6 installation, but I cannot get it to work with D7. I would very much appreciate a comment on this issue. Should somebody hold the information that multiple playlists is not yet available i D7?

Should be fixed in the latest DEV version.

Thanks for replying, Travis. I tried the DEV version 7.x.2.x (feb. 22) and then the 7.x-2.0-rc7, but the issue doesn't seem to be fixed. I cannot get it to work. I hope I'm not doing anything wrong. It worked fine in Drupal 6.

Not sure if I should open a new issue for my problem, but since it is related to having multiple playlists for a single player I just reopened this one.

I would like to have two playlists shown in a Panel page: the first one would show the media files as a grid of small player and the second one would show a grid of thumbnails with some fields related to the media. Both the playlists should control an unique big player shown in the same Panel.

As far as I can imagine, it won't be so easy to style a playlist made of small players by just theming the player, so I used a View with Grid style for the first playlist, linking the small players to the big one in the View header using the "Link to Player" option in MediaFront settings, and I added this View to a Panel.

Then I created the second playlist: first I tried setting it up as a Grid style View, similar to the first one, and linking the thumbnail field to the player. However, this setup doesn't work, since the thumbnails link to a player only if it is shown within the same view, but know nothing about other players in the page. Then I tried to style the second View in MediaFront Player format, using a player preset acting as playlist for the main player thanks to the Player to Player capability of MediaFront: in this case, the media from the second playlist are loaded and played correctly in the main player embedded in the first View header, but the links from the first View no longer work, due to (I guess) the Player to Player control overriding the weaker link control.

So my question is: would it be possible to control a player embedded in a View with the results from two different Views in a Panel?

It works, thank you Travis. I installed 7x20rc8 (release date marts 01_2013) and now multiple players work as a dream. Thank you for this amazing feature.

I am having a multiple playlist problem that I can't solve as well. I am using 7x20rc8. I have a player with an embedded vertical playlist working great through views (showcase-player preset). I created another preset for a playlist only player, using player-to-player to target the showcase-player. I cloned the view display that controlled the showcase-player and then changed the preset to playlist-only. I then embedded the view into the footer of the showcase-player.

With no other changes, this solution works. Clicking on a video in the playlist-only plays in the player as expected. The use-case here was to use different filtering for both views to have different videos displayed and this is where the problems come. As soon as I make the filtering different, no video plays from either playlist, although I can hear audio. Even weirder, my admin menu toolbar disappears as well. When I change the filtering back so that both playlists are the same everything starts working again.

Any ideas?

Having the playlist-only player embedded in the view did not seem to be the issue. I tried it as a separate block and it exhibits the same behavior.
