Required Header

#include <media_content.h>

Overview

A Playlist is a list of songs which can be played in some sequence i.e. sequential or shuffled order. The Media Playlist API provides functions to insert, delete or updates a media playlist in the database.

For inserting new playlist (media_playlist_h) in the database, call media_playlist_insert_to_db() function and call media_playlist_delete_from_db() function to delete a playlist from the database.
For adding a media item to the playlist, call media_playlist_add_media() function, for removing a media item from the playlist, call media_playlist_remove_media() function.
Finally, media_playlist_update_to_db() function should be called so as to update the given item in the media database.
