DESCRIPTION

!DEVELOPER RELEASE! API may change, program may break or be under optimized.

!WARNING! Documentation in progress.

inherits from WebService::GData::Feed::Entry.

This package represents a PlaylistLink which contains the meta information about playlists (title,description,keywords,etc).

If you are logged in you can edit/erase existing playlist metadata,create a new playlist.

Most of the time you will not instantiate this class directly but use the helper in the WebService::GData::YouTube class.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

Create a WebService::GData::YouTube::Feed::PlaylistLink instance.

Parameters:

"jsonc_playlists_entry_feed:Object" (Optional)
"authorization:Object" (Optional): or
"authorization:Object" (Optional)

If an authorization object is set (WebService::GData::ClientLogin),

it will allow you to access private contents and insert/edit/delete playlists.

GET METHODS

All the following read only methods give access to the information contained in a playlist feed.

count_hint

GENERAL SET/GET METHODS

All these methods represents the meta data of a playlist but you have read/write access on them.

It is therefore necessary to be logged in programmaticly to be able to use them in write mode (if not, saving the data will not work).

title

This will be the name of your playlist.

summary

This will be the explanation of the kind of content contained in this playlist.

keywords

Keywords representing the playlists.

is_private

Only specific person can access this playlist if set to private.

playlist_id

The unique id of this playlist (usually required for edit/erase)

QUERY METHODS

These methods actually query the service to save your edits.

You must be logged in programmaticly to be able to use them.

delete

You must specify the playlist to erase by setting its unique id via playlist_id.

save

The save method will do an insert if there is no playlist_id or an update if there is one.

add_video

Append an existing video into a playlist(query the API to insert the data, you must be logged in programmatically).

Parameters

"video_id:Scalar" - the video id to add

Returns

void

Throws

WebService::GData::Error in case of an error

Example:

   my $yt = new WebService::GData::YouTube($auth); 

   my $playlist = $yt->playlists;
   
   $playlist->playlist_id("playlist_id");
   $playlist->add_video("video_id");
   
   #or
   
   my $yt = new WebService::GData::YouTube($auth); 

   my $playlist = $yt->get_user_playlists()->[0];//example:the first playlist in the list 
      $playlist->add_video("video_id");
