Adding a track to a local m3u8 playlist

jaedb · August 23, 2016, 8:07pm

I’m adding support to Spotmop HTTP Client for the new m3u playlist API. However I’m having trouble identifying how to add tracks to these playlists. I’ve had a look through the playlists.py code and there doesn’t appear to be any methods providing this functionality.

Please tell me that I’m not using my eyes properly!

Sample code for saving the current tracklist ($scope.tlTracks) as a playlist:

github.com

tkem/mopidy-mobile/blob/master/www/app/tracklist/tracklist.js#L161


    return mopidy.tracklist.remove({criteria: {tlid: [tlTrack.tlid]}});
  });
};


$scope.saveAs = function() {
  popup.prompt('Playlist Name', 'My Playlist').then(function(name) {
    if (name) {
      connection(function(mopidy) {
        // TODO: error handling
        return mopidy.playlists.create({name: name}).then(function(playlist) {
            var tracks = $scope.tlTracks.map(function(tlTrack) { return tlTrack.track; });
            playlist.tracks = angular.copy(tracks);
            return mopidy.playlists.save({playlist: playlist});
        });
      });
    }
  });
};


$scope.selectPlaylist = function(track) {
  return connection(function(mopidy) {

Great, thanks for those answers.

Just to clarify though, there is no way to add tracks and manipulate an existing playlist without passing the entire updated playlist object?

Nope, currently there’s only save, which takes a full Playlist model. The “editing” part of the playlists API hasn’t had much attention so far, mostly because few clients actually use it. Any ideas for improvements are welcome, of course.
