How to create an xspf (xml) playlist?

[willhunt]

I was trying to write a bash script that creates xspf playlist from
the current dir it should look like this

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
    <trackList>
        <track><location>file:///mp3s/song_1.mp3</location></track>
        <track><location>file:///mp3s/song_2.mp3</location></track>
        <track><location>file:///mp3s/song_3.mp3</location></track>
    </trackList>
</playlist>

I got this far and am skilless again arghhhhhhh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# Headers and footers
HDR0='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' 
HDR1='<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">'
HDR2='<trackList>'
FTR0='</trackList>'
FTR1='</playlist>'
ATR1='<track><location>file://'
ATR2='</location></track>'
#write header
echo $HDR0 >/tmp/playlist
echo $HDR1 >>/tmp/playlist
echo $HDR2 >>/tmp/playlist
find . -type f | sed "s/.*\(mp3\|wav\|ogg\)"`'|sort>/tmp/playprep
####Now how do i read /tmp/playprep a line at a time and prefix it
####with ATR1 and suffixing it with ATR or is that the way to go any
####help would be great
#write footer
echo $FTR0 >>/tmp/playlist
echo $FTR1 >>/tmp/playlist
echo $FTR2 >>/tmp/playlist

sed reads one line at a time automatically
does this help

Code: Select all

find /mnt/hda5/music -name "*.mp3" | sed 's/^/START/ ; s/$/END/' >> /tmp/playlist

sed oneliners

[willhunt]

Thanks thats so close do you know how to get /path/to/file
instead of ./
the link is greatly apperciated

[HairyWill]

the ./ is a function of how you use find, because I specified a full path I get

Code: Select all

START/mnt/hda5/music/Kings of Leon/Aha Shake Heartbreak/04 Pistol of Fire.mp3END
START/mnt/hda5/music/Kings of Leon/Aha Shake Heartbreak/05 Milk.mp3END
START/mnt/hda5/music/Kings of Leon/Aha Shake Heartbreak/06 The Bucket.mp3END
START/mnt/hda5/music/Kings of Leon/Aha Shake Heartbreak/07 Soft.mp3END

you could use

Code: Select all

find $PWD .......

so that $PWD gets expanded before find is executed.

[willhunt]

here is the resulting /tmp/playlist after $PWD change anyone have a idea how to add the forward slashes?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
<trackList>
<track><location>file:/root/my-documents/lamppost.mp3<location><track>
<track><location>file:/root/my-documents/who53.mp3<location><track>
</trackList>
</playlist>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

[MU]

DO NOT USE!
Better example further down!

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

SEARCHLOCATION="/root/tests/playlist"

#SEARCHLOCATION="."

# Headers and footers
HDR0='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
HDR1='<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">'
HDR2='<trackList>'
FTR0='</trackList>'
FTR1='</playlist>'
ATR1='<track><location>file://'
ATR2='</location></track>'
#write header
echo $HDR0 >/tmp/playlist
echo $HDR1 >>/tmp/playlist
echo $HDR2 >>/tmp/playlist
#find . -type f | sed "s/.*\(mp3\|wav\|ogg\)"`'|sort>/tmp/playprep


#FOLDER=`gtkbasic002 -e 'a=xwin_getdir("$SEARCHLOCATION"):print a'`

HERE=`pwd`
cd $SEARCHLOCATION
FOLDER=`pwd`
cd $HERE
find "$FOLDER" -name "*.mp3" | sed 's#^#<track><location>file://# ; s#$#</location></track>#' | sort>> /tmp/playlist


####Now how do i read /tmp/playprep a line at a time and prefix it
####with ATR1 and suffixing it with ATR or is that the way to go any
####help would be great
#write footer
echo $FTR0 >>/tmp/playlist
echo $FTR1 >>/tmp/playlist
echo $FTR2 >>/tmp/playlist 

cheers, Mark

[willhunt]

Thanks MU for the help I think there's a glitch somewhere
in the new mod because this is the first time I saw your
post and I've been looking

Thanks Hairy for letting me reread the link enough to understand I really do like to figure it myself when
I can
final working line is
find $PWD -name "*.mp3" | sed 's/^/<track><location>file:\/\// ; s/$/<\/location><\/track>/' >> /tmp/playlist

[HairyWill]

There is a good reason why MU has used getdir but I can't remember why a refresher would be great MU.

Also it should be possible to use find $PWD -regex xxxxxx to match all music filteypes but I can't get it to work properly.

[MU]

find . -regex ".*\(mp3\|ogg\)"

xwin_getdir is commented in my example and so not used.
I just took it for tests.
With `pwd` you can get the same results in this case, and so don't need gtkbasic.

Updated example:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash


### comment the line you do not need

#SEARCHLOCATION="/root/tests/playlist"

SEARCHLOCATION="."


FILETYPES='.*\(mp3\|wav\|ogg\)'



# Headers and footers
HDR0='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
HDR1='<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">'
HDR2='<trackList>'
FTR0='</trackList>'
FTR1='</playlist>'
ATR1='<track><location>file://'
ATR2='</location></track>'
#write header
echo $HDR0 >/tmp/playlist
echo $HDR1 >>/tmp/playlist
echo $HDR2 >>/tmp/playlist

HERE=`pwd`
cd "$SEARCHLOCATION"
FOLDER=`pwd`
cd "$HERE"
find "$FOLDER" -iregex "$FILETYPES" | sed 's#^#<track><location>file://# ; s#$#</location></track>#'|sort >> /tmp/playlist


####Now how do i read /tmp/playprep a line at a time and prefix it

####help would be great
#write footer
echo $FTR0 >>/tmp/playlist
echo $FTR1 >>/tmp/playlist
echo $FTR2 >>/tmp/playlist

[HairyWill]

find . -regex ".*\(mp3\|ogg\)"

Ahhh I missed out the escapes for the brackets thank you.

[willhunt]

wow Idea to working concept in less than 24hrs
and ppl think there's somthing wrong with forum!
Thanks for all your great help!

now that that part works I've found out I need this also
<title>filename</title> is there a way to add this the
sed line?
i tried but got it wrong again!
<track><location>file:///mp3s/song_1.mp3</location><title>song_1.mp3</title></track>

[MU]

Code: Select all

find "$FOLDER" -iregex "$FILETYPES" | sed  's#\(.*/\)\(.*\)#<track><location>file://\1\2</location><title>\2</title></location></track># '|sort >> /tmp/playlist

This uses replacements.
\(xxx\)\(yyy\)

the first is placed in the variable \1
the second in \2

Mark

[willhunt]

that line was the ticket MU mission completed!
Thanks for the Help HairyWill and MU the king of sed!
I made a player.html to embed the player in and made
a pet file for anyone who wants to try it

Works well for me. Not really sure why I'd use it though, did you have a particular usage scenario in mind?

[willhunt]

well yes I listen to lotsa podcasts and audio books while I surf mozilla
has a sidebar player IF you have the playlist and no way to create
them I searched the web and found 0 scripts to acomplish this
now there is one also by replacing file:// with http:/ and
the location of file:///usr/local/xspf/xspf_player.swf? to
http://your/website/xspf_player.swf? upload the whole dir to your
website rename player.html to index.html,.also it's small size. I have
not had a chance to add all the other file ext it plays but just about
everything.

Still thinking on how to add the album cover

For a more professional looking example check out
http://www.hideout.com.br/blog/ or Sherlock Holmes at archive.org the extened player is in the
pet but you could use the button player or slimbar
or FireFox sidepanel
