Notes regarding the adding/removing of content from a playlist:

1. Adding/deleting a Video from a playlist will update the content that is within that playlist and shift all videos by the time added/removed from the playlist

-Therefore, if the Video is added to the beginning of the playlist than all videos will be moved back by that length of time. If a user is watching the channel when this update is made, the content will skip based on the updated playlist.

2. Deleting a video will be based off the following usability:

-A user will not be able to delete any video that is in a playlist (to avoid “gaps” in content). They will be directed to the playlists that need to be updated in order to delete that video. The reason for this is that a playlist can check for the content that is in the playlist but actually deleting the video by editing the playlist is concerning different content directories and this can lead to some database instability when calling it in this fashion

WARNING:

All videos in a playlist must be encoded to the same specifications:
a. Resolution
b. Bitrate
c. Framerate
