Creating and editing playlists in Xplay
Loading an existing playlist
When Xplay is in the Standard playlist view and a playlist is loaded into the Playlist Editor,
the playlist appears as one sequential list of playlist elements. However, when Xplay is in
the ByDevice playlist view and a playlist is loaded, the playlist splits up its elements into
sub-playlists that contain elements that target each of the devices configured in Xplay
(figure
3-5 ). Note that in order to effectively split the playlist into device playlists, Xplay is
forced to impose some restrictions, which are described below.
Figure 3-5. Playlists that are loaded in ByDevice playlist view are organized differently than in Standard view
