creating a playlist?

I am trying to create a playlist with a small playlist menu to string together three videos on my website, http://www.bluebassoon.net

Below is what I currently have.

using the setup wizard it tells me to use this line:

s1.addVariable('playlist','bottom');

but I don't know how to create the playlist in the first place. Also when i add that line of command the playlist menu doesn't show up. i have been able to get it to show up if I add

playlist=right&playlistsize=50
to the flashvars line.

I don't want to go through youtube and have their logo on my video.

any help in getting the playlist to appear and create my playlist would be awesome. OR is there a way to just create chapter markers?

thanks

hello,

add this:

s1.addParam('flashvars','&author=Alaric S. Rocha&file=http://www.bluebassoon.net/video/showreel_all.flvℑ=http://bluebassoon.net/images/showreel.jpg&skin=/video/snel.swf&autostart=false&fullscreen=true&mute=false&file=<strong>nameofyouplaylist.xml</strong>&playlist=right&playlistsize=100');

for xml you have many solution...

here simple example: (dowload SVN and find in testing folder) or go to wizard page to configure your player.

This is great thank you so much! Check it out: http://www.bluebassoon.net/index2.html

I have two more questions.

1. Can I have a still image in the Flv player window that is not in the playlist? Currently I have a still image that lasts 2sec in the beginning of the playlist. that image is the image I want up before people press play.

2. How do I make the next video start playing automatically?

This is what I currently have:
