Goals

Having a handy, self-curated list of video and audio files is great, but let's make it easy for people to view/listen to all that stuff:

  • Allow users to auto-play all of the videos or audio files in My List when they've filtered their list by those media types.

Use cases & user stories

  • When I have filtered My List to show just the video items, I want to auto-play all of the unviewed videos on the list, so I don't have to mess around opening and playing each item separately.
  • When I have filtered My List to show just the audio items, I want to auto-play all of the unlistened-to items on the list, so I don't have to mess around opening and playing each item separately.
  • When an item on My List has been auto-played, I want that item flagged as "played" so if I come back to My List later I know that I have already seen/heard it.

UX design

  • Not handed off yet

Justification

  • User value, user delight - once you create a list of playable media, it simply makes sense to have the option to autoplay everything on the list in order. This also works in conjunction with whatever cross-device screencasting features we build, where the user will be able to cast their video or audio list up to another screen and just set it to play there.
  • User features like this, including screencasting, feed into our marketshare & co-marketing goals.

Quality criteria

  • No user-perceptible performance degradation
  • All goals are met
  • All user stories are implemented & tested
