This Fork of the Video.js playlist plugin by [http://tim-peterson.github.io](Tim Peterson) fixes a few issues:
- Updates the playlist plugin for the latest version of video.js (4.2.2 as of this writing).
- Has the playlist functionality 'work' for HTML5 playlists
###Known Issues Does not work with RTMP streaming for multiple flash videos. It handles one correctly, but the others are not handled correctly. I don't currently know why that is.
Video.js playlist
A video-js plugin to play multiple videos or multiple audio tracks . It is one of a growing number of plugins for the awesome video-js library
Rationale: The main goal in developing this plugin is to play audio files. Playing audio is possible with video-js either by swapping the <video> for an <audio> tag or by simply feeding audio tracks to the <video> tag. Both approaches have their pluses and minuses which are documented here in video.js's issues.

Using the Plugin
The plugin automatically registers itself when you include video.playlist.js in your page:
<script src='videojs.playlist.js'></script>
You probably want to include the default stylesheet, too. It provides some basic styling to indicate what track is currently playing:
<link href="videojs.playlist.css" rel="stylesheet">
The Playlist plugin has one required id and class names in the HTML
id="XXX-vjs-playlist" //playlist wrapper ID that is specific to the instantiated videojs object ID, e.g., id="audio-playlist-vjs-playlist". This is necessary such that multiple videojs players can exist on the same page.
class="vjs-track" // tracks className
The Playlist plugin currently takes three options, mediaType, continuous, and setTrack:
var myPlaylist=myPlayerPlaylist.playlist({ "mediaType": "audio" "continuous": true, "setTrack": 2 });
mediaType (string) specifies whether the player should play HTML5 video or audio. If you want <audio> set this option to "audio". Not including this option is the same as setting it to video.
continuous (bool) specifies whether the playlist should play the next track after the previous one finishes. Setting this to false prevents the continuous playback. Not including this option is the same as setting it to true.
setTrack (int) allows manually setting the initial track that should be played. It's a zero-indexed integer based on the number of tracks in the playlist.
The playlist object returns several values:
1. myPlaylist.index() //returns the current track (0-indexed)
2. myPlaylist.trackCount //indicates the total number of tracks
3. myPlaylist.tracks //returns javascript object of all tracks document.querySelectorAll("#"+this.player.id+'.vjs-track')
4. myPlaylist.prev() //manually triggers the previous track and stays on the 1st track if at the last track
5. myPlaylist.next() //manually triggers the next track and returns to the 1st track if at the last track
Future options being considered include: 1) a shuffle button to shuffle tracks and 2) rendering the playlist using JS rather than as it is currently done with HTML. The intent is to allow a playlist {} object to be fed in. I'd be happy for your feedback, petersontimr@gmail.com.
