Use only iTunes library file #555

Closed roblan closed 6 years ago

roblan commented 6 years ago

Is there a way to use only iTunes library file as library info source for forked-daapd? When I pointed it in config on whole directory all other files (ringtones, etc) were also added to the library. And is there a way to ignore songs that are mark as "unchecked" in iTunes library?

I’m trying to use it as library where 1:1 iTunes backup is the source.

No, but you can take a look at the "filepath_ignore"-option, perhaps that can help you.

roblan commented 6 years ago

So there is no way to ignore those unchecked ones? Bummer...

ejurgensen commented 6 years ago

Not exactly sure what you mean by "unchecked"?

Can you check if this is a field in the xml? If so I think mapping it to disabled forked-daapd would be quite simple.

roblan commented 6 years ago

It have Disabled key set to true <key>Disabled</key><true/>

Turns out it wasn't so easy to do as thought. The disabled flag in forked-daapd has some special uses which don't blend well with letting the iTunes XML decide its value.
