Smart playlist vs manual playlist

Two types of playlists can be created:

  • Playlists: playlists of events that are the result of a search by keywords (e.g. all events Goals from the competition World Cup 2018). Those playlists evolve whenever new content is added on the channel
  • Manual playlists: playlists of hand-picked events selected one-by-one by the user. Those events don't necessarily share common keywords. Several users can collaborate on a manual playlist

  • Click on "Add" and the event is added to your playlist



Create a Smart playlist

  • Search for events on the dartfish.tv channel using the search bar or keywords filtering

Important: playlists apply only to events. Video playlists can not be created. The end result of the search must be in event mode.


  • From the filtered result you can already save the filtering as a Smart Playlist by clicking on the "Save" icon on the top right corner of the page
  • Or if you click on "View playlist" to view the result of the filtering, you can click on the "Save" button on the top right corner of the page 


  • Or if you click on the video itself, click on the "Save" icon on the left hand side 


  • Give a name to your playlist in the "Save the Playlist as..." window and a description if needed and click on "Save" 
  • The playlist is created and you can find it in your playlists on the left hand side of the page 


Manage your personal playlists

  • Find all your playlists by clicking on Playlists
  • Hover the mouse over a playlist to quickly share, delete, or edit details (Name and description). Only Details can be edited on a Smart playlist.


  • Click on the Playlist thumbnail to open it and to have access to more editing options.
  • Slide the Edit cursor on the right to allow the edition of the playlist 


  • Once the edition is enabled, you will be able to re-order the events by drag & drop.


Collaborate on a playlist

Several analysts and coaches can work on the same playlist in order to prepare a common analysis. Playlist collaboration grants to several users the rights to edit a playlist. Only one user can edit a playlist at a time. When a user is editing a playlist, the other collaborators can watch it but can't edit it. When the user stops editing the playlist, or when he has been inactive for too long, another user can then start editing it.


To invite people to collaborate on your playlists, you need to have a myDartfish Pro S license


To invite collaborators on a playlist:

  • Open the Playlist
  • Click on the 3 dots on the top right corner of the page to open the menu and click on "Collaborate" 


  • Copy the link and send it to the collaborators


You can see a Playlist has collaborators when this icon is displayed 

  • When someone opens that link, he will be asked to sign in on dartfish.tv, and will then be automatically added to the list of collaborators
  • Reset the link to stop its validity. Once a link has been reset, new collaborators won't be able to join the playlist using it
  • Once a playlist becomes collaborative (i.e. there are two or more people that can edit it), a new status Edit/View is added to the playlist. Collaborators are by default opening the playlist in a viewer mode. They have to move the Edit cursor to be able modify it. If another collaborator is already editing the playlist, then a warning message is displayed

  • It is always possible to add events to a collaborative playlist even if another collaborator is already editing it. New events will then be added at the end of the playlist
