Alright, so I have been trying to a sort of play list to work for some videos, and I don't want to buy a player. I have been trying to do this in Flash, and was fairly successful with a flash player linked to an xml play list.

Though, I am still not happy with it.

I was browsing around and found this website that has accomplished exactly what I would like to do.

http://www.protokulture.com/project.php

It seems that they did this with PHP, which didn't even cross my mind. Which is why I am trying to find some help. Does anyone know of either a tutorial for something like this or at least a good place to get started?

Any help is appreciated

The website you mention uses Shadowbox to display/play media. There are instructions on the Shadowbox site which should enable you to integrate it into a webpage. Shadowbox, like many other similar players uses JavaScript and CSS (not php), A widely used alternative is the JW player - again, there are detailed instructions on the website. The JW player is free unless you are generating revenue from your site.
