[mythtv-users] MythMusic m3u playlist importer

[James Bunton]

Hi,

Firstly I wanted to say thanks for MythTV, I just upgraded to 0.21 and it's a
fantastic release :)
Lots of little annoyances and bugs have been fixed, as there's some nice new
features.


I use MythMusic quite a lot, however creating playlists with a remote control
is a bit of a pain. I wanted to be able to use existing playlists in MythTV.
After a bit of searching I found a script which nearly worked. I hacked it til
it did :)

Run that as your mythtv user giving the M3U files as command line args.
Database settings are grabbed from your mythtv config or can be passed on the
command line. You'll probably need to specify the --strip argument so that the
files in the m3u look like they're rooted in MythTV's music dir.

Hope this is useful to others :)
