YES, the playlist can have videos (you just need to click on "add video to playlist") but NO, it cannot play "two things at the same time"... of course...

Hi Germi,

My client was wondering if he can play a video in the JWplayer while a song is playing. I figured JWplayer likely only does one action at the time (even though it could be multi-threaded). But maybe my client can have a video that plays the song. Putting it another way, Can the play list have videos as well and not just songs. Thanks.

Thank you very much Germi. I didn't noticed that earlier. The videos are added to the play list; however, I don't seem to get a thumbnail for them (Also get the triangle for file not found in the player area). When I hit play it does not play the video. The JWplayer module, I did not update since 2.0 update as I have to reintegrate the modifications for the commercial version. Is the version of module dependent on the component version for the video. Should I be looking at module or elsewhere for it not working. BTW, the video plays fine in the song page. Thanks much.

Hi Germi,

Hope all is well. My client added a video to playlist, and is still having the same issue of not being able to play the video (YouTube). He gets no thumbnail and when we play it, we get the triangle for I presume file not found. The video shows up fine in the song page. The module has since the previous post been updated to the 2.0+ version. If you have any hint in this regard, I would appreciate it.

Hi Germi,

I replaced the JWplayer with the one released with MC and it can play the video in the playlist. I still don't get a thumbnail for the video though. But it seems the issue is the changes since the new JWplayer that is not compatible. I need to pin this interface change down to see where I should change in the MC code. I'll check the LongTail forums/docs for further info. If you can add some info on this side, it could help me on the changes. Thanks.

mmm but.. did you changed the player version??
if you did... remember that the "youtube" plugin is an extra file (called yt.swf) that you must update, too!

in any case... it should work with the native MC version... and about the thumbail: its a thing of the YT plugin... sometimes it does not show it..
