Add support for playlists

[system]

Improve support for playlist globally

• Get plex / emby playlists
• Save and restore now playing playlist
• Create and update local playlists
• Make a playlist available offline
• Implement smart playlist that add sorts and limits to smart filters

It would be awesome to be able to download playlists ofline and have them synced automagically when they are updated on your kodi or in yatse.
Great job already !
Thanks.

This sounds like a great feature request! Love all the list. i would definitely love to be able to download offline a playlist from emby or kodi on demand. Smart playlist support that syncs with kodi or emby also sounds awesome!

Improve support for playlist globally

It will be be awesome to have this working!

Unfortunately smarts playlist on kodi are just for kodi, can’t work with other music players, would be perfect to have Yatse reading and playing smart playlists offline o in local player mode

I’m quite anxious to see this working!

Thanks a lot!

Yatse will never be able to get your smart playlist configuration as Kodi does not allows that, only content.

But Yatse have smart filters that you can save / load and play locally that offers the same functions or even more in some cases

Yatse: Smart filters

[floreo]

Thanks @Tolriq, I understand it can’t be done because of Kodi’s limitations to share only content and not configuration yet the smart filters works well, but I was thinking about having music playlist, and it’s a bummer to configure it in Kodi and in Yatse every time you add a song or maybe I don’t use it in an efficient way.
Thanks for your work !

Looks good but still missing filter for “comments” field, is very useful in mp3 files to sort and filter by the comments field.

Is there any way to implement that?

[wildcard418]

Any update on this? This is the last feature I need to be able to ditch the Plex App!

[Tolriq]

Still in the plans but Kodi is slowing down that

With Kodi 18 soon out and fixing some of the issues (probably at the expense of adding a tons more ;)) I will probably increase priority.

[Josh_Spurgeon]

Thia this is what I’m super looking for also I really hope it gets implemented soon

[Pedro_Barriga]

Please do the import plex playlist thing. It’s the only thing yatse needs to be perfect.

As we discussed here please consider to add support to play playlists in Emby and Kodi by voice commands.

Hi, I can’t quite tell if it is possible to see and play playlists created in emby through yatse based in the replies in here. I believe it is not possible yet, but want to confirm, and of so, voice my vote to have them added. Thanks!

[Tolriq]

@feerlessleadr it’s possible to import and sync them already.

[feerlessleadr]

Thanks @Tolriq I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong then. When in my music section in emby, my emby playlists are not showing up. When I click the plus sign and hit import, nothing happens, it just says “Import” but nothing else pops up that I can click.

Is there a different process for importing?

How to get debug information and open a proper issue

[feerlessleadr]

Thanks @Tolriq, apologies for not following that straight away. I opened up a new topic below:

Emby Playlists Don't Import

Be sure to read https://yatse.tv/wiki/debug-yatse-kodi-remote to provide necessary logs and information. Issue description: First off, just want to say thanks for this application, it works really well. I just discovered that I could use this with emby, and it is working out great for listening to my music via emby. My only issue so far is that my emby playlists don’t seem to be populating in yatse, either automatically, or through import. I am able to create smart playlists directly in yatse,…

[Dario_Marmz]

I just came here after long time to ask something like this.

At the moment i have queued some Soundcloud music and i wanted to save my current (Yatse) playlist for further listening… so i feel perfectly in topic with system’s feature request.

Keep up your great work Tolriq! I am sure you won’t miss this one, just as you did for add favorite’s request

EDIT: I forgot to say that i am using Kodi Leia (not Plex)…

I support this enhancement, but i don’t understand why the syncing of playlists in kodi is not able to be implemented? I don’t want to recreate already existing playlists in kodi on my mobile device. I don’t know how exactly Yatse works, but i imagine at some point it has to do with JSON calls to the Kodi api, if that’s the case, the there is support for getting playlists in kodi. Can someone please explain why this is not possible, from my perspective , it should be possible. I’ve included a link to Kodi’s JSON calls, see “playlists”
https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v12#Playlist.GetItems

[Tolriq]

Because it’s only one way and it does not return the proper data in many many cases. Without the ids returned I can’t match things up.
