Media files -> .xspf playlists

Generate an XSPF playlist file for audio and video files using PHP. Use it on the command line once or as a dead-simple way to keep a playlist on the internet up to date.

A Python implementation of the XSPF Playlister Generator ported here: https://github.com/lacymorrow/xspf-playlister-py

Created for: lacymorrow/xspf-jukebox.

Place all of your media files into a folder called media. Copy playlister.php and the getid3 directory to the same location as the media directory. Run playlister.php or open it in your browser to generate and print your XSPF file. That's it!

• root
  • playlister.php
  • getid3
    • ...

Supports mp3, wav, and ogg audio and mp4, webm, and ogv video formats.

If two video files of different types share a filename, they will be interpreted as two sources for the same track.

Tracks will be titled by their filename sans extension. Additional creator and album information can be provided by organizing your files into a media/creator/album/file hierarchy.

An image may be associated with a track by giving it the same filename. To associate one image with an entire folder of tracks, give it the filename artwork. artwork images associate themselves to every sibling and child directory and may be placed anywhere in your media directory hierarchy, so an artwork.jpg in the media directory will act as a global image, filling in for every track that did not already have one provided.

By default, the getid3 library is used to scan mp3 files and will automatically use the meta information associated with a track, rather than the menu directory hierarchy. In order to alleviate server load, a small caching mechanism is in place.

By default the playlist is cached every hour. Open playlister.php and edit the settings between lines 20-40 to change the functionality or provide a different media directory.
