Custom titles/description for attached videos?

Captions aren't supported in the XSPF standard. There is something called "annotation" which could be implemented, but it's unclear to me what should automatically be entered into these fields- any ideas?

Sometimes it is useful to have a caption for your videos. For example, if you have a long playlist that has a thumbnail and a title, you may want to add a short description. The annotation tag in XSPF does this. However, I have found nowhere in the admin screens that will let you enable the "annotation" field. Therefore, a hack is necessary:

In version 6.x:

Open up xspf_playlist\xspf_playlist_node\xspf_playlist_node.module and go to approximately line 414

You will have to add a new item to the array. Copy the following code and paste it in:

  $item[] = array(
    'key' => 'annotation',
    'value' => $node->body,
  );

What this code does is add a new tag called annotation to the XML output. In my example above, the annotation value is populated by whatever is in the "Body" field of the node.

Now, when you view your playlist, you will see a caption underneath the title.

If you want to populate the annotation field by a custom created field, then just create the new field for your content type (Content Management -> Edit Content Type -> Manage Fields). Then, go back to the xspf_playlist_node.module and go to approximately line 414 and add the following chunk of code:

  $item[] = array(
    'key' => 'annotation',
    'value' => $node->field_annotation[0]['value'],
  );

In this example, you will replace field_annotation with whatever name you gave your field.

there is no patch to review. additionally, we've dropped the xspf_playlist_node module, so there's now no automatic way to do this currently, anyway.
