The playlist can be included in any other separate container, e.g., under the player.

Nuevo plugin includes built in unique option to show and play a playlist of videos. Nuevo playlist differs in layout from playlists offered by other players or other videojs plugins. By default, before video playback, the playlist is visible; however, you can order to hide it and show only the playlist icon. You can even hide the playlist container completely and show only playlist navigation arrows to play the next or previous video from the list.

The Nuevo playlist is advanced enough to support multiple video formats, including standard MP4 in multiple resolutions, HLS/m3u8, HLS/fragmented MP4, mpeg/DASH, audio, or even live video.
Videos from the playlist are played in auto-advance mode. One of the useful playlist functions is to set the repeat option. This will force the player to restart playback from the first playlist item once the last video is finished. If one of the videos from the playlist throws a media error (not supported, not connecting), the playlist will play the next video from the playlist seamlessly.
