 Now that the video playlist feature is working well in core, it could be
 great to think about supporting Vimeo and YouTube videos inside playlist.

 For the record, YouTube videos can be played with the MediaElementJS
 player with this shortcode :

 {{{
 [video src="http://youtu.be/_YbVJoMYwJ0"]
 }}}

 I would like to introduce the possibility to play this video inside a
 playlist:

 {{{
 [playlist type="video"
 srcs="http://youtu.be/_YbVJoMYwJ0,http://youtu.be/Fn1iMmSvvhQ"]
 }}}

 Now, there are some challenges :
   1. Playlist are managed by selecting attachment form the Media library,
 along with their meta data (title, poster, ...). How to provide meta data
 for external videos ?
   2. MediaElementJS does not build the player in the same way when a
 YouTube video is embeded, so switching between videos does not rely on the
 same API, and switching between YouTube and mp4 videos is not possible

 The first concern could be addressed by registering an attachment post in
 the database that links to a YouTube URL instead of a video located in the
 uploads folder.
