Adding the Playlist Plugin

After the player is embedded, the playlist plugin can be added as a flashvar.

1. Add the following code between the flashvars curly braces:
   
   

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

   "playlistAPI":{     "containerPosition": "bottom",     "layout": "vertical",     'initItemEntryId': null,     'autoContinue': false,     'autoPlay': false,     'kpl0Name': null,     'kpl0Url': null,     'kpl0Id': '0_3yqb8r3m',     'titleLimit': 32,     'descriptionLimit': 32,     'thumbnailWidth' : 86,     'mediaItemWidth': 320,     'mediaItemHeight': 70,     'includeThumbnail': true,     'includeItemNumberPattern': false,     'includeMediaItemDuration': true,     'hideClipPoster': true,     'loop': false,     'overflow': false,     'showControls': true,     'selectedIndex': 0 },
