Nuevo playlist differs in layout from playlists offered by other players or other videojs plugins.
It is overlayed on player with option to show/hide while playing video. It is safe to show even on narrow browser on mobile device in portrait mode.
By default before video playback the playlist is visible, however you can order to hide it and show only playlist icon. You can even hide playlist container completely and show only playlist navigation arrows to play next or previous video from the list.
Nuevo playlist is also enough advanced to support multiple video formats like standard MP4 in multiple resolutions, HLS/m3u8, HLS/fragmented MP4, mpeg/DASH or even Live stream.
Videos from the playlist are played in auto-advance mode. One of useful playlist functions is to set "repeat" option. This will force player to restart playback from first playlist item once last video finished.
If one video/audio from the playlist throws media error [not supported, not connecting], the playlist will play next video from the playlist seamlessly.
The videos from playlist are fully supported by Chromecast plugin.
