TV Channel Playlists

TV Channel Playlist is a list of video players that are shown under one group / category within your web tv channel.

By creating different playlists, you can split and display your videos by genres or any other criterias. 

Ideal for users who are looking to publish many videos in the form of a playlist, with one-time embed code integration. Afterwards, the tv channel can be controlled without the need of modifying the embed code any further.

The TV Channel playlist looks very much like Single Players, but it also has new options added. All buttons and information, specific to TV Channel Playlist, will be explained in this article.


Creating a New TV Channel Playlist

To create a new playlist simply click on the button on the right.

After clicking on the button you will see a form with few options.

ENTER TV CHANNEL PLAYLIST NAME - This is the the name of your playlist

TV CHANNEL PLAYLIST DESCRIPTION - This text appears below the main video player. Type a normal text or use the html editor.

POSITIONING OF THE UPLOADED VIDEOS - List latest uploads at the top of the list means the next uploaded video will appear at the top of the video list. List latest uploads at the bottom of the list means the next uploaded video will appear at the bottom of the video list.

MANUAL/AUTO PUBLISHING - Manual publishing means you will need to press Publish Now button before the video becomes live to your TV Channel viewers. This option allows you to preview the video and check for any errors before it goes live.
