Description
Hi There,
Is there any documentation online for this module? Especially how it is used with the media player module?
Thanks.
#1
New documentation page posted, http://drupal.org/node/278260, with some info on Media Mover integration.
#2
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.

The documentation needs improvement - it is unclear:
- Whether this is a standalone module?
- How does it play the file I've uploaded? There are no instructions for configuring the player.
- Is media mover mandatory?
If FLV Media Player and Media Mover are mandatory, then they should be enforced as requirements.

@ulfk xspf_playlist is a playlist xml format, not a player. It is a standalone module
@ulfk xspf_playlist does not play any files, it places a reference to the file in a play list. If you use flvmediaplayer, the configuration is pretty straight forward, if you use some other player, you just need to reference the playlist as the file you want to play
@ulfk media mover is not mandatory. This module just gives XML playlist support, though it does work in conjunction with media mover.
@Nedjo-
I don't seem to have write access to the documentation page, but it might be good to update the following text:
Viewing playlists through FLV Media Player
XSPF Playlist can be used with the FLV Media Player module to provide URLs and content online status to a media player.
to
Viewing playlists through FLV Media Player
XSPF Playlist can be used with the FLV Media Player module to provide URLs and content online status to a media player.
Accessing generated playlists
XSPF Playlists are generated for nodes that have playlist content through a specific URL, eg: http://yoursite.org/xspf/node/NID where NID is the node id in question. For example, if you'd like to add the play list to a flashplayer, you might do something like: flashvars="file=http://yoursite.org/xspf/node/NID" You can also build a playlist via views that would be accessible on the url that you define in your view
Or something.

I'm confused by this bit in the handbook page:
There's only one module in the distribution as far as I can see.
