XML Playlist Format

Reading time ~31 minutes

Cinegy Air playlist is a text-based XML file that contains information about each item inserted into it. The XML playlist format uses a simple and flexible item structure.

Overview

Terms

  • Inventory – a catalog, used as a rule with the network share, where the playlist items that are prepared for playback are stored.

  • Item – defines a separate playback element in the playlist with a set of metadata that describes the specific item.

  • Block – defines a logical group of items with the common set of metadata.

  • Program – defines a logical group of blocks with the common set of metadata.

  • Playlist – defines a set of items grouped into blocks and programs with the set of metadata necessary for the playback.

  • TV_Format – defines general playback settings, such as frame size, frame structure, frames frequency, aspect ratio.

  • Target aspect – defines the method of aspect ratio conversion before the playback.

  • Timeline – defines a set of the clips and their positions during the playback.

General XML Structure

A general simplified playlist structure looks as follows:

<mcrs_playlist>
    <program ... >
        <block ... >
            <item ... >
                <timeline ... >
                    <group ... >
                        <track ... >
                            <clip ... />
                            ...
                        </track>
                        ...
                    </group>
                    ...
                </timeline>
            </item>
            ...
        </block>
        ...
    </program>
    ...
</mcrs_playlist>

Playlist

A playlist for Cinegy Air is a set of metadata in XML format sufficient for the arrangement and playback of clips, Sequences and separate footages. A playlist defines a general playback TV format and consists of one or several programs.

The simplified view of the XML file for a separate playlist in Cinegy Air is as follows:

<mcrs_playlist>
    <program ... />
    <program ... />
    <program ... />
<mcrs_playlist>

Program

image003

Each program consists of one or several blocks.

The simplified view of the XML file for a separate program in the Cinegy Air playlist is as follows:

<program name="Program name">
    <block ... />
    <block ... />
    <block ... />
</program>

Block

A block has a name and corresponds to the next level of the logical grouping of playlist items:

image007

Each block consists of one or several items.

The simplified view of the XML file for a separate block in the program is as follows:

    <block name="Block name">
        <item  ... />
        <item  ... />
        <item  ... />
    </block>

Item

An item is a minimal playlist unit and contains all metadata necessary for the playback.

image009

An item includes the data of the item itself (TV format, timeline), descriptive metadata (name, description, comment), and the data that defines the processing and the display of the given item for the current playlist (target aspect, mark In, mark Out, flags, skipped state, split audio state).

image011

An item may contain the description of the timeline structure that defines the position of separate playback elements. In the case when the timeline description is missing, the given item is treated as a dummy item assigned for a preliminary place reservation in the playlist. A dummy item should be filled with real items before the playback start; otherwise it will be skipped.

The simplified view of the XML file for a separate item in the block is as follows:

<item name="Item name" ...>
    <timeline ... />
</item>

Timeline

A timeline is a description of the positions of separate one-item playback elements and is in general equivalent to the timeline structure in Cinegy Desktop for the given item:

image013

A timeline defines the playback duration in general and consists of several playback groups, divided into types: video and audio. A timeline may contain only one video group and several audio groups.

The simplified view of the XML file for a separate item in the block is as follows:

    <timeline duration="122.72" version="5">
        <group type="video" ... />
        <group type="audio" ... />
        <group type="audio" ... />
        <group type="audio" ... />
    </timeline>

Group

A video group contains the description of video tracks in the Cinegy Desktop timeline (V1, V2, V3) and has the following parameters – group type, frame size, frame frequency, frame structure and display mode:

image014

Each audio group is equivalent to a separate audio track in the Cinegy Desktop timeline (S1..S8) and contains the following parameters – group type, sampling and display mode:

image015

In general, a group is a set of logical tracks.

The simplified view of the XML file for a separate timeline group is as follows:

    <group type="video" width="1920" height="1080" aspect="16:9" framerate="25" progressive="n">
        <track ... />
        <track ... />
        <track ... />
        <track ... />
    </group>

    <group type="audio" channels="2">
        <track ... />
        <track ... />
    </group>

Track

A track is a description of the chain of non-overlapping successively played back clips. If a track in the Cinegy Desktop timeline contains overlapping clips:

image016

The corresponding groups will contain two tracks with the non-overlapping clips:

image017

The simplified view of the XML file for a separate track is as follows:

    <track>
        <clip ... />
    </track>

    <track>
        <clip ... />
        <clip ... />
        <clip ... />
    </track>

Clip

A clip is a minimal non-divided display unit. It is a set of metadata that defines the essence source (a file or a program object), the display start time (from the beginning of the timeline), the display end time (from the beginning of the timeline), and a list of effects applied to the given display unit before rendering.

The simplified view of the XML file for a separate clip is as follows:

    <clip srcref="{GUID1}" cliptype="43" start="0" stop="5" mstart="0" mstop="5" quality="3">
        <quality ... />
        <quality ... />
        <quality ... />
    </clip>

    <clip srcref="{GUID2}" cliptype="43" start="2.4" stop="8.4" mstart="36000" mstop="36006" quality="3">
        <quality ... />
        <effect ... />
    </clip>

    <clip clsid="{D1CBE7D4-CD02-46C1-AD08-7CE80C246BF5}" start="0" stop="10.8" mstart="0" mstop="10.8" quality="0">
        <rawparameters ... />
        <effect ... />
        <transition ... />
    </clip>

    formula

  • enabled – defines whether the effect will be enabled or disabled during rendering [y = enabled, n = disabled].

Children

Depends on the definite effect type.

Mask

Multiple effect can have a mask attached to them, which defines the opaque area. Mask parameters grouped in the parameters group with the name "Mask".

The example of the effect with the mask applied:

<effect clsid="{9CFA58D1-8E54-4A70-B24D-9D49BB525911}" stop="33.3333" enabled="y">
	<param name="Radius" value="32" />
	<params name="Mask">
		<param name="X" value="0.266" />
		<param name="Y" value="0" />
		<param name="ScaleX" value="0.493" />
		<param name="ScaleY" value="0.493" />
		<param name="Feather" value="16" />
		<param name="Opacity" value="1" />
		<param name="Shape">
			<at time="0" value="0" />
		</param>
		<param name="Inversion">
			<at time="0" value="0" />
		</param>
	</params>
</effect>
Keyframes

If the parameter value does not change of the first keyframe is at zero position and has the linear type, its value can be written as follows:

<param name="ScaleX" value="0.493" />

Otherwise it is defined in the parameters list as follows:

<param name="Inversion">
  <at time="0" value="0" />
</param>

The keyframe can have Bezier type. The "v1" and "v2" parameters are measured in the same units as "value" parameter. The "t1" and "t2" parameters are measured in the special relative units where "0" is the time of the previous keyframe and "1" is the time of current keyframe. The allowed value of one parameter depends on the second parameter value according to special formula.

<param name="Feather" value="0">
  <bezier time="1.001" value="3" t1="0" t2="0.8333333333" v1="0" v2="2.44444" />
  <bezier time="3.003" value="10" t1="1.2635868137" t2="0.3746979248" v1="3.69299" v2="9.72125" />
</param>
Sample
<effect clsid="{C907F5F5-772B-4839-8277-F3EADA27E9DB}" start="0" stop="5">
    <param ... />
