    I have created a Static Playlist via the Firefly playlist webpage. I want to edit it. Does it exist on the disc anywhere?

    The playlists are in the database, so you need to execute some sql using sqlite.

    bash-3.2# sqlite3 /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs3.db
    SQLite version 3.4.1
    Enter ".help" for instructions
    sqlite> .headers ON
    sqlite> select * from playlists;
    id|title|type|items|query|db_timestamp|path|idx
    1|Library|1|2686|1|0||0
    3|Muse - Black Holes & Revelations|1|11|artist = "Muse" AND album includes "Black"|0||0

    You can then issue an update set query=’xxxxx’ where id=x

    That was a reaction to the solution not your playlist. πŸ˜‰

    Is that the “sql” for a static playlist?

    Sorry, a static playlist is an .m3u file that is parsed by firefly.
    In my example, if have podcast.m3u which is just a list of mp3 files.
    e.g

    bash-3.2# cat podcast.m3u
    dailysourcecode-86176-11-05-2007_pshow_201439.mp3
    dailysourcecode-86406-11-07-2007_pshow_202204.mp3

    fricomedy_20071026-1855.mp3
    fricomedy_20071102-1845.mp3
    scia_20071102-1230.mp3
    scia_20071109-1230.mp3

    so you could you just edit the m3u file

    Yes. But I created this static playlist thru the hidden “playlist” page so I have no idea where I can edit it.

    Sorry again,I now understand.

    they are stored in the database in playlistitems.

    I wrote this sql to retrieve them

    sqlite> select p.id,p.title,songid,s.path from playlistitems l inner join playlists p on l.playlistid=p.id inner join songs s on s.id=l.songid;

    playlistitems has the following structure

    sqlite> .schema playlistitems
    CREATE TABLE playlistitems (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    playlistid INTEGER NOT NULL,
    songid INTEGER NOT NULL
    );

    so you need to add/remove rows in that table – not for the faint hearted πŸ™‚

    Does pressing delete on the song not work ?

    Dragging a song to a playlist will add it I found.

    From reading the above it appears that maybe the best way to get rid of the static playlist is to do some sort of database rebuilt. Will a full scan do this or do I have to uninstall firefly and then reinstall from scratch? Seems like a lot of trouble to delete a few static playlists but if that is the only way then so be it.
