How do I create a playlist for RealPlayer?

Question

I want to create a playlist in RealPlayer through a Perl script to avoid every time opening the ReaPlayer for an audio or video file.

Answer 1

You could use the Smil module from CPAN. RealPlayer supports SMIL.

Answer 2

You just have to construct the right text in the file. Lucas Gonze put together a nice survey of playlist formats, including the ones you need for RealPlayer.
