You can play a media_list using a '''media_list_player'''.

== A media descriptor can contain a media list ==
A playlist downloaded from Google video has a corresponding media_descriptor. This media_descriptor has several subitems. You can access them through libvlc_media_descriptor_subitems() which returns a media_list.

This explains how a media_list can be hierarchical. To browse it you'll use libvlc_media_list_hierarchy_view(). To view the all the item without hierarchy use libvlc_media_list_flat_view().
