Completely (German) newbie looking for help!
The mt-daapd-Server runs under embedded Linux (Intradisk – NAS-Drive), i-Tunes is installed under WindowsXP.
My problem is how to configure the Playlist-file. Essentially I need the correct code for folder-based playlists, thats all.
Maybe anybody here can help, thanks a lot!
I also would be happy about a well-working playlist, which I only have to adapt to my need.Regards from Cologne/Germany
grüsse nach köln 🙂
what exactly do you mean by “folder based” ?
what version of mt-daapd are you running ?I suggest you try the nightly releases, they have a web-based playlist editor.
grüsse zurück, fizze, and thanks for your quickly posting!
what exactly do you mean by “folder based” ?
For the moment, I just need playlists, containing the mp3-songs within one folder.
what version of mt-daapd are you running ?
The latest version – 0.2.4, I think.
Take a look at http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org/
it has, amongst others, a totally overhauled web-site with the options to edit smart playlists.
other than that:
make sure your process_m3u option is set to enable scanning of playlists.
Of course the pathnames in that have to be correct. (unixly *hint*)fizze wrote:

where do I have to do that?

What is the correct code for the following example:
I like to create a playlist of all mp3-titels in a folder. The path of that folder is (windows-conversion):
export/music/Favoriten 1 ???
you have to enable process_m3u in your mt-daapd.conf file.
which should reside in /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf or /opt/etc/mt-daapd/
you get the idea.are you sure you know about playlist files ?
m3u playlist files contain the filenames and a full or realtive path to EACH music file.if you want to create a smart (xml-style) playlist, Im sure theres plenty of docs on their syntax on the web. :unsure:

fizze, thanks for your patience with me!

m3u playlist files contain the filenames and a full or realtive path to EACH music file.meanwhile, I´m no longer sure, what do i have to do in my case? I´m only looking for the correct code in the mt-daapd.playlist – file, so that all mp3-songs in one folder are represented in my playlist, so, where´s the problem?
okay, now there´s a m3u-file in the following path:
/export/music/Favoriten 1/playlist1.m3u.
(/export/music is the mp3-directory for mt-daapd)
Please, please tell me what I must do with the mt-daapd.playlist – file, so that this m3u-file appears as a mt-daapd-playlist in iTunes for example?
nothing with the .playlist file, but with the .conf file.
then just rescan your DB and the playlist file should show – given its correct.Some of the confusion might be because there are different versions of mt-daapd with different ways of making playlists.
With 0.2.x, it’s done through the .playlist file. To do that, try something like:
"Incoming Files" {
path includes "/incoming/"
}
WIth nightlies, you can edit it through the “smart” tab on the web ui, and add a criteria like this:
path includes "/incoming"
The syntax on that is almost identical, but it’s stored in the database on nightlies rather than a separate file.
