Playlist Interfaces

A server-side playlist is an ordered list that identifies the media elements that a server must send to a client. You can use the XML Document Object Model (DOM) and the server object model to manage a playlist dynamically. For example, you can programmatically insert media elements into or delete media elements from an active playlist, randomize playlist elements, create a playlist, load and save existing playlists, and so on. The following table identifies the relevant interfaces. Links to reference pages for these interfaces, listed by programming language, are provided in the See Also lists that follow the table.
