Playlist Overview

<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/%20-ALL-%2300B180" style="float:left"/><br />
With a playlist, you can engage your viewers with a collection of your videos. JWP allows you to create several types of playlists: manual, dynamic, trending, recommendations, search, and article matching.
<br />
The table and sections below explain the usage and implementation of each type of playlist.
<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th> Type </th>
            <th> Description </th>
        </tr>

    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td width="25%"><strong><a href="/platform/docs/vdh-create-a-dynamic-playlist">Dynamic</a></strong></td>
            <td width="75%">A Dynamic playlist automatically orders videos based on a sort type. The possible sort types are:<br /><br />
                <ul>
                    <li><strong>Publish Date</strong> (default): Date that the media items were published</li>
                    <li><strong>Duration</strong>: Duration of the media items</li>
                    <li><strong>Plays</strong>: Lifetime number of times the media items have been played</li>
                    <li><strong>Title</strong>: First letter of the media title</li>
                    <li><strong>Trending</strong>: Most popular videos, based on play count</li> 
                    <li><strong>Shuffle</strong>: Randomizes the order of videos with every un-cached playlist request</li>
                </ul>
                You can also define tag rules to include or exclude videos with certain tags. Dynamic playlists are limited to a <strong>maximum of 500 videos</strong>.
                <br /><br />
                When an editor adds new videos to the library that match the rules you have defined, the new videos will be automatically added to the playlist.

        <tr>
            <td><strong><a href="/platform/docs/vdh-create-a-manual-playlist">Manual</a></strong></td>
            <td>A Manual playlist allows you to create and order a static list of videos. Unless you update the playlist, neither the list of videos nor the video order changes after the playlist has been created. Manual playlists are limited to a <strong>maximum of 500 videos</strong>.
                <br /><br />
                You can use manual playlists to feature videos you want to display in a specific order.

            <td>A Search playlist creates a list of videos in your library based on a keyword search. Search playlists are limited to a <strong>maximum of 100 videos</strong>.</td>

        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><strong><a href="/platform/docs/vdh-create-a-recommendations-playlist">Recommendations</a></strong></td>
            <td>A Recommendations or <em>feed</em> playlist serves videos based on the first video that a viewer watches. The recommendations are selected by using a blend of two proprietary methodologies: a version of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_rule_learning" target="_blank">association rule mining</a> and content similarity of videos. Recommendations playlists are limited to a <strong>maximum of 100 videos</strong>.
                <br /><br />
                If the recommendations algorithm cannot find any videos using the methodologies above, trending videos are served.
