FireSpiff – Export XML playlist (XSPF)

This is by far the most efficient way firefly supports to send data, because all tags are a max of 8 bytes (4 for identifier, 4 for size).

Actually, I think rsp is both faster and smaller than raw daap. Faster because it doesn’t have to know the size of the external container atom before it starts streaming it, so it only has to make one pass through the db, and smaller because it’s a non-persistent connection and can do gzip encoding.

I’m thinking of redoing all the daap stuff to use memory mapped files, and that might make it possible to speed the daap up quite a bit, though.

Just a thought…

OK.

Here is a better version. It lists your playlists and allows you to choose the one to download as XSPF. Unzip the attached into your webserver root and open “index.php” from your browser. It assumes Firefly uses port 3689, if it does not you can edit the PHP files (should be pretty obvious where). For a more Firefly look copy the firefly css to the same folder.

Once again I make no apologies for my coding skills. It has been cobbled together from examples on the web.

I will have a go at EXTM3U if anyone is interested.

Test away!

You can do this by editing the title in your first post of this topic.

Hi,
I used your code to have an automatically generated playlist in my www root. Like this one can point from another streaming client (VLC for example) to this URL.
I modified the firefly startup script, that it generates a new playlist (XSPF) every time firefly starts. For sure this can be much more fine tuned, but it works…

Thank you for the script & xsl
kind regards
