After I have created a playlist and assigned it to a Video node, how do I access the info of each video within the playlist, as the playlist moves from video 1, to video 2, to video 3, etc. ?

I’m already watching the Video.contentIndex field :

```auto
m.Video.ObserveField("contentIndex", "OnPlaylistIndexChange")

```

…but when I examine m.Video or m.Video.content within sub OnPlayListIndexChange( ), I’m not seeing anything that looks like a listing of the individual videos within the playlist.

I need to know the individual videos’ info so I can log tracking info to Boxcast, where the vids originate, and thus track each video within the playlist separately in Boxcast.

Thanks for any help…

Not sure what all info you need but you can use something as simple as..

```auto
sub OnPlaylistIndexChange()
  print m.Video.content
end sub

```

Which will return something similar to this.

```auto
  <Component: roSGNode:ContentNode> =
  {
      change: <Component: roAssociativeArray>
      focusable: false
      focusedChild: <Component: roInvalid>
      id: ""

You need to access the children of m.video.content. I.e. m.video.content.getChild(m.video.contentIndex)
