This is best for cases where you need to optimize your playlists for search engine discoverability. A sample file getKalturaPlaylist.php is included that includes a single simple method for translating kaltura playlist api response into a ul list The on-page plugin handles binding all elements of your choosing.

<ul class="thumbnails">
<?php 
foreach( $playlist['playlist'] as $key => $entry ){
	$entry =  (array)$entry;
?>
	<li itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/VideoObject" 
		class="kaltura-video span2">
		<meta itemprop="duration" content="<?php echo $entry['duration'] ?>"
