Create a playlist file after downloading songs from a playlist URL #3

Closed iamprem closed 3 months ago

iamprem commented 3 months ago

Currently syncify downloads all songs from a playlist/album URL into a folder. I have to manually create a playlist file m3u for each folder. It would be nice if syncify auto creates this file after download.

Music servers like Navidrome and Jellyfin can read this file and show the playlist in the player.

I'm happy to send PR if you think this can be added as a feature.

I developed PlaylistDir to automate the creation of playlists. It works by generating an .m3u file for all music files within a subfolder of a specified directory.

I decided not to include playlist functionality in Syncify because I wasn't certain it would be useful for everyone. Also, if files are downloaded to a intermediate location, the playlists would not be valid.

I also kept them separate to accommodate playlists that aren't part of Syncify, which would otherwise be excluded. Keeping them separate allows you to generate a playlists for one-time downloads, such as when using SpotTube.

Haven't said that I'm not completely against the idea, but have a look at PlaylistDir and see if that suits.

Feel free to work on the PR if you want but just make it optional via an environmental variable, and off by default.
