Tag-Based Playlists (Pro)

A tag-based playlist is built automatically from your media tags instead of a hand-picked list of videos. You choose one or more tags, and the playlist shows every media item that carries them — so when you add a new video with that tag, it appears in the playlist automatically.

Pro feature

Tag-based playlists require FluentPlayer Pro.

When to use it

• A growing series where you add new episodes over time — tag each new video and it joins the playlist automatically.
• A topic hub that should always show everything tagged tutorial (or any tag you choose).
• Anywhere you would otherwise have to edit a playlist by hand every time you publish a video.

Option 1: Shortcode

Add the [fluentplaylist] shortcode with a tags attribute to any post or page:

[fluentplaylist tags="tutorial"]

Combine multiple tags with commas:

[fluentplaylist tags="tutorial,getting-started"]

The playlist renders every media item that matches the tag(s), using your configured playlist layout and appearance.

TIP

A regular playlist uses [fluentplaylist id="10"]. A tag-based playlist uses tags="…" instead of id. See Embed a Playlist for the standard form.

Option 2: Playlist block

1. In the block editor, add the FluentPlayer Playlist block.
2. Click the By Tags button (next to New Playlist).
3. In the Tags field that appears, type in the Add a tag… box and add one or more tags.
4. Publish or update.

The block renders the same dynamic, tag-driven playlist as the shortcode. To use a fixed, hand-picked playlist instead, choose New Playlist or pick one from Select Existing Playlist.

Good to know

• Only tagged media appears — tag your videos first.
• Because the list is dynamic, the playlist updates as you tag or untag videos; there is no fixed order to maintain by hand.
