File management
You have two different possibilities to add files to the player:
- internal files from the phpwcms filecenter
- external files - url's to files or playlists/feeds
further the player will react differently when you add just a single file or a playlist.

In most cases, you can just add the files and the module will detect what kind of file it is and what to do with it.
Some general instructions
With the drag icon you can move an entry within the list to another position by drag and drop. You must udate the content part in order to get saved the new sorting.
Delete the entry with a click on the trash icon. Attention! No confirmation will appear, it deletes right away!
New in Version 2
You can activate each required field for link, author, description, date, tags - according to your skin used in the player.
Tip:
Be careful here!
Deactivating a field here will hide its content in all media-player content parts and in the playlists!
You'll get the content back on reactivating though.
Click to add a new file to the playlist.
When more than one file is in the listing (or the single entry is a folder) the script writes a xml-file to folder: content/tmp named:playlist.mpl_[ID of article]_[ID of contentpart].xml
You should clean out empty entries from your playlist. The module should detect empty entries and skip them, but you help the script with clean playlists!
