Play files according to a playlist file (ASX, Winamp, SMIL, or
one-file-per-line format).
Play files according to a playlist file (Supports some common formats.If
no format is detected, t will be treated as list of files, separated by
newline characters. Note that XML playlist formats are not supported.)

The way mpv uses playlist files is not safe against maliciously

This has been the case for all mpv and MPlayer versions, but
unfortunately this fact was not well documented earlier, and some people
have even misguidedly recommended use of ``--playlist`` with untrusted
sources. Do NOT use ``--playlist`` with random internet sources or files
you do not trust!
FIXME: This needs to be clarified and documented thoroughly.
The main problem is that playlists can point to arbitrary network
addresses (including local addresses inside of your LAN), and thus
can't be considered secure. Playlists also can contain entries using
other protocols, such as local files, or (most severely), special
protocols like ``avdevice://``, which are inherently unsafe.
