Preview Playlists #90

Open BenjaminHae opened 8 years ago

BenjaminHae commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to have the ability to preview playlists before adding them to the queue.

How do you add playlists anyway? Must they be located in the music directory?

BenjaminHae commented 8 years ago

Playlists are saved by mpd. By default they are stored in /var/lib/mpd/playlists If you want to generate a playlist manually you have to fix the paths(relative to the music directory) and save it in the playlists directory.

Thanks, I meant: I don't see my saved playlists in ympd when I click "browse database". I can save them in ympd or another client or load them in another client, but not in ympd. Do I have to make a symlink from the music directory to the playlist directory or something to be able to load them?

Normally it should work out of the box. What does mpc lsplaylists show?

SuperBFG7 commented 8 years ago

ok, strange, mpc lsplaylists shows my only saved playlist (so far, because I couldn't load it anymore). I saved it using ympd, at least this seemed to work.

$ mpc lsplaylists Covers

$ ls -l /var/lib/mpd/playlists/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 mpd mpd 358 17. Okt 12:33 Covers.m3u

Oh, wait. I think some patch I applied broke it, it's in the HTML but not visible. Probably the "always display artist and album" one. Thanks for your help!

EDIT: yes, found and corrected it in my tree.
