AVS, Clipshare, PHPMotion video scripts users do not have to bother about playlist or config flashvars,
as each option is easily accesible from admin, playlists are generated automatically.

For custom CMS or other video scripts user have option to install Universal player menagement script.
It allows to manage most of player options and settings in easy way. Also it has built in all internal ad systems.
One thing that user must do is preparing playlist and guide dynamic php files file based on certain script and databse settings.
With Univeral Integration we provide playlist/guide examples and tutorials how to do things.
Still this requires from user php and mysql experience.
