Description
@arthur great to hear... I've updated the handbook to make setup a easier, but am having difficulty getting a playlist to generate from a view. I'd like to get this working, and I'll update the handbook accordingly...
basically my tracklist is empty. do I need to select certain/more fields? a page view works fine. but here is an example tracklist generated by a view. no tracks :-\

playlist
note: the Drupal 5 install started with 5.x-1.20-beta1 - then updated from CVS after I noticed you had updated the playlist_cck.module.

Sweet, going to be messing around with some views based playlists and attempting some pre-roll additions too in the next couple days, will rummage through the cvs in a bit :)

Hey Mike-
Have you set the per content type settings at admin/settings/xspf_playlist?
It sounds like that could be the case, or simply that the content you have doesn't have xspf-able (is that a word?) content.

Hi Mike,
Did you ever get this sorted out... displaying XSPF playlists in a view based on a given content type? I've got the same issue that you've reported here, with an XML file being visible at the URL I specify in the view but with no content in it. Arthur mentioned the view-specific module settings in the XSPF Playlist module and I've got those set up for the particular content type.
What config settings should I be putting into this view? What fields, arguments, filters...?
Thanks for any advice.
Peter

I third that emotion. Any progress on this? There are very clear instructions here http://drupal.org/node/278260 regarding the process but it only results in the creation of a playlist with nothing between the
<trackList></trackList>tags as stated above.Followup would be much appreciated! thanks in advance.

So i took a long hard look at the "xspf_playlist_views.module" code and it appears that you have to select "XSPF Playlist: node has playlist content" in the Filters section of your View. Not a lot of time to test but it looks like it works! I added a comment to the documentation page i mentioned above.
I'm marking this issue as Fixed, i guess (sorry but i don't know the proper procedures here, i'm new to Drupal.org community).
let me know if this worked for anyone else.
