Export Playlists in different formats
« on: October 09, 2006, 02:20:40 am »
Hello everyone !

I've been looking throughly the forum [I guess ...] and didn't find yet how to implement already made different export playlists format directly within MC [plug-in ?] .

I'm using a FTP server of my own [local] and woud like very much te get different outputs for "some" of the playlist formats underneath [I-Pod excluded] :

http://gonze.com/playlists/playlist-format-survey.html#M3U

I could use HTML templates generated directly from my FTP/Http folders. 

But that's boring, fastidious and no use : playlists from virtual  MC 's folders are so easy to make on the fly !


Million thanks to whom could guide me to solutions  ;)

Click on the playlist you want to export.

Goto: File/Export playlist

You have the possibility to export in HTML,MPL,M3U and ASCII

Ok, thanks, but got that for some time now ....
but it's not enough though  :-\

Take this very example : if I want to get an *.wpl (audio or video) playlist out of MC I have to :
 
a - extract a MC's *.m3u playlist,
b - then open up that very same *.m3u  within Windows MediaPlayer,
c - save it as a *.wpl

.../...

d- at last for my Http server i've to fix [ that doesn't concern MC] the following :

Quote
<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
    <head>
        <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 10.0.0.4040"/>
        <author/>
        <title>Mindless self indulgence</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <seq>
            <media src="E:\Music\1999 - FGWSSS\01 - xxxxx.mp3" tid="{B8E21483-471A-4556-A160-FE45EB3D1C20}"/>
            <media src="E:\Music\1999 - FGWSSS\02 - xxxxx.mp3"/>

into :

Quote
<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
    <head>
        <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 10.0.0.4040"/>
        <author/>
        <title>Mindless self indulgence</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <seq>
            <media src="http://70.000.000.00:port/E:/Music/1999 - FGWSSS\01 - xxxxxx.mp"3/>

Well ... see how inadequate when U want to play it fast in other playlist formats  ;D

to sum up,

I'ld like a solution, so I could auto create these playlist compatible with media player, and with other players too, like winamp, realplayer and others....

As mentionned above [gonze.com] they all have this particular kind of playlist.

If more of them were available within MC (music or with the videos), well ... that would be neat ....

Here is a sample *.wpl done on the fly out of MC (if I can say so  :P)  and now on my ftp  :

my Trip Hop Playlist

I'll have a futher look in the plug in Dev. section.

To anyone interested  8)

Following my initial request (without reply ... :-\) I got the following system going.

- Extraction of m3u playlist from MC to be read with WMP ---> extraction with Windows MP ---> process through a *.dot document (input of Http adress) : all set !

- For m3u to be read otherwise : addon of a licence free flashplayer into the Html template.

Have a look if U want (works for both audio/video!


p.s : actually coding other Html (with/without Javascript) to include other player (see Pop-up Player) ;D

Just to remind,

MC11.1 is final. Feature requests should be posted in the MC12 forum.

Also, if you have a playlist format request you should define exactly what you want and why.

Otherwise the developers and other users would not be able to understand what you are after for.

Here is an example:

Quote
MC includes the directory paths when an m3u playlist is exported. Would it be possible to add an option that would not include the paths? I would like the playlists to be independent of the file folder location.

Actually, I would like to request this. Pathless m3u playlists would be more useful for me.

In the meantime it was recommanded somewhere on the forum to use this little cool m3u generator :

Playboyster

(useful for complete back up before drive change)

and I'll have a check at the MC12 forum  ;)
