Can I copy a playlist between channels?
No. The visibility of content in MediaSpace is entirely dependent on the so-called "entitlements" that have been given for each individual piece of media. The ability to copy playlists to other channels would mean having to publish that media to the new channel. Right now you have to do that manually as well as recreate the playlist.
If I add media to a channel playlist, is it also added to the "Media" section of the channel?
Yes. If you haven't already published the media to the channel, adding it to a channel playlist will also make the media appear in the "Media" section in addition to being within the playlist.
If I remove (or "unpublish") a piece of media from a channel, will they also be removed from any channel playlists to which they've been added?
Yes.
When I try to add a video to a channel playlist, the list of entries from "My Media" is very short - it doesn't show most of my entries. How can I add the video I'm looking for?
Use the "Search for Media" field. Kaltura limits the number of entries that will show up in the "Add Items to Your Playlist" section of the page. You'll need to enter some search terms that will narrow it down. If necessary, add a unique tag to the video so it's easy to find.
Can I add media to a playlist that someone else created in a channel of which I'm a member?
Yes, if you have the appropriate permissions. If you're entitled to add content to the channel in question, you have the ability to edit existing playlists, even if you didn't create them.
Note that you aren't automatically able to edit the individual media entries within someone else's playlist, unless you've been made a co-editor on the video by some other means.
