Playlists let you queue content around a main feature film — for example trailers or pre-show items followed by the feature — and play the whole sequence back to back. In Convoy Cinema you manage playlists on the Playlists screen, reached from the top bar (Playlists) or the Manage Playlists button on a film's details page.
Before you start
- The films you want in a playlist should be downloaded to the device — see Downloading a Film.
- The main movie needs a valid KDM key to play — see Playing a Film with Player Controls.
How to create a playlist
- Open Playlists and click Create Playlist (or Create Your First Playlist if you have none).
- In the "Create New Playlist" window:
- Enter a Playlist Name.
- Choose the Main Movie from your downloaded films.
- Add the other Videos in Playlist you want to include.
- Click Create Playlist. A "Playlist created successfully" message confirms it.
Editing or deleting a playlist
- Edit (pencil icon on a playlist card) reopens the "Edit Playlist" window; change the name or main movie and click Update Playlist.
- Delete (trash icon) removes the playlist. A "Playlist deleted successfully" message confirms it.
Each card shows the playlist name, the main movie, and the created on date.
How to play a playlist
- On a playlist card, click Play.
- If the main movie has a valid stored key, playback starts. Otherwise the Select Key File window opens — choose the key file to continue (see Playing a Film with Player Controls).
- While a playlist plays, the card shows "Playing: n of total" and reveals playlist controls.
