Playlists basically represent a temporally-aware encoding of the *metadata* about the stream. Not just title and such, but everything the player needs to actually produce the experience (mostly… we'll come back to that). There are four major playlist formats – HLS (which is everywhere), DASH (which is great and nowhere), and proprietary formats used by Netflix and YouTube respectively). All have their quirks, but the most significant thing they contain is a media segment reference.
