Details

This patch moves all the playlist creation etc... from the
root dir to the PLAYLISTS directory.
root.m3u8 and dynamic.m3u8 will be created in /PLAYLISTS.
The playlist catalog already uses /PLAYLISTS as default.
The OF creates this dir by default so it is always there
might as well use it to clean up the root.

Seeing as you can copy and paste files, shouldn't the playlist be created in the folder that you created it in, rather than placing it in an arbitrary folder that may not even exist?

And not every player's OF creates the folder. Rockbox needs to, on an application level, act functionally similar on all players.
Comment by Gerritt Gonzales (GRaTT) - Monday, 06 August 2007, 06:32 GMT+2
The database uses /Playlists/ by default.
But all of my playlists regardless are created in the root.
My preference is to have all my playlists in one location
and since the database default is /playlists and the Sansa
OF creates this I felt this made sense.

The Rockbox database doesn't use playlists at all. What are you talking about? Do you mean the "Playlist Catalog" feature?
Comment by Gerritt Gonzales (GRaTT) - Monday, 06 August 2007, 06:36 GMT+2
Yes I mean the catalog feature.

It is a very good idea, as I would also like all my playlists in the one directory. If putting playlists in /PLAYLISTS/ is not within guidelines maybe it could at least be an option which is disabled by default? Also why is there no download available for download this patch?

Why does it only enable for the Sansa?
Comment by Gerritt Gonzales (GRaTT) - Tuesday, 07 August 2007, 15:19 GMT+2
I know for sure the sansa has the "Playlists"
folder by default. The patch is small enough
that if you want to enable it for your player
just edit the #ifdef SANSA_E200.

it only has it if you go into the OF
Comment by Johnathon Mihalop (Soul-Slayer) - Tuesday, 07 August 2007, 16:30 GMT+2
Making it make the folder when built if it doesn't already exist would be logical.
Comment by x (vmh) - Tuesday, 07 August 2007, 21:14 GMT+2
- check if folder 'Playlists' already exists
- merge with playlist_catalog

Thanks vmh.
@jdgordon: once rockbox has usb for PP targets then sansa owners will be free.
But I understand what you are saying. "If" this will get into svn then it
must address all targets. From previous forum posts and the first comment to this
patch I did not think this was wanted behavior. However I think this patch
makes the Playlist Catalog and playlists in general more user friendly,
and now thanks to vmh it does address all targets.

Shouldn't it obey the "playlist catalog directory" setting?

> Shouldn't it obey the "playlist catalog directory" setting?
You're right.

- use global_settings.playlist_catalog_dir (maybe it should be renamed to 'playlist_dir', but I don't want to make changes in too many files)
- remove some unnecessary codes in playlist_catalog.c
