I have similar kind of question for you guys.
The filenames for accentuations. Here they produce very unexpected chars in the playlist.
The playlist uses flv player & the scriopt also scrolls through the playlist but dont show me the thumb. I want the player to play only flv filres is this possible? how?
Can you make me understand this?

Try YouTube php Playlist
YouTube Playlist is a fully customizable PHP script to create niche-targeted playlists of videos from YouTUBE. You can gather your own videos either by thematic relevance, or as part of a series. If you have a longer video, it makes sense to break it down into several clips, each with clear title, so that viewers can opt to skip to particularly interesting parts of your movie. Either way, you have cut out some of the search and navigation work required of your potential audience, and won them over in the process. The ability to select and bring to other people's attention little-seen videos is a skill in and of itself, and people will thank you for taking the time. Data is pulled dynamically from the content providers - no mysql database required.

The easiest way to use this script is to place it in the same directory as your mp3's then make a request to the php. The php will return an XML with the song Path, Title, and Author which is great for Flash.
