The playlist editor isn't currently shipped with the main DCP-o-matic, but I guess there's no reason why it shouldn't be.

The playlist editor has had quite a few improvements in the "test" branch of DCP-o-matic, so if you experimenting with it I would suggest you get it from here.

The playlist editor is still quite rough around the edges. I suggest downloading 2.15.104 when it is available (hopefully in the next few hours) as that has some important fixes.

With the current version you need to go into preferences and specify a content directory where all your content will come from; then you can choose from there to add to playlists. It was done this way as required by the user that originally paid for the playlist functionality to be added. It could be extended to get content from anywhere.

However, do get 2.15.104 before you try as it probably won't work at all with anything earlier.
