Features

Index

An index is a meta file which can be used to create playlist files. Index files store file paths relative (instead of XSPF which stores file paths absolute). This makes it easier to share index files instead of xspf files. You can also store index files on folders that are shared between multiple systems. Every system can create its own playlist file from the exact same index.
Additionally you can create one or more playlists from the same index (You could add all files of a folder to an index and create white- and blacklist based playlists from this index).

Summary

• File extension: .xdc (Compressed. Takes a lot less disk space)
• File extension: .xd (Raw text file. Good for debugging)

Duplicates

Various commands for finding duplicate files by comparing checksums of all files within the given location.

Summary

• Can check index files
• Can check playlist files
• Can check file paths

Concurrent Batch Execution

There is a new command for improving the batch file functionality even more. The batch:concurrent command allows multiple Batch files to be processed concurrently. A more detailed description can be found in the wiki

Added white- and blacklist feature for playlist creation

The create command now supports black and whitelisting.

create [options] [--] <playlist-file> <file-or-folder> (<file-or-folder>)...

Arguments:
  playlist-file              The playlist file that should be created
  file-or-folder             Files and folders that should be added

Options:
  -w, --whitelist=WHITELIST  Whitelisted file patterns (e.g. *.avi) (multiple values allowed)
  -b, --blacklist=BLACKLIST  Blacklisted file patterns (e.g. *.db) [default: ["*.db",".*"]] (multiple values allowed)

Example

Assuming the following files:

• HomeVideo CD1.avi
• HomeVideo CD2.avi
• HomeVideo CD1.jpg
• HomeVideo CD2.jpg

If you want to create a playlist with all "HomeVideo" video files but without the covers using the new white and blacklist feature, the command would look like this:

php xspf.phar create "HomeVideo.xspf" "./" -w "*HomeVideo*" -b "*.jpg"

Matching Priority

If white and blacklist are given, whitelist will be checked first. If a file matches the whitelist it will checked again against the blacklist.

Changelog

• Removed static filter for "Thumbs.db" and "*.bak" from Release 0.5.1
• Added whitelist feature
• Added blacklist feature

UTF8 Encoding Fix

Fixed a bug that appeared in vlc media player with utf8 chars in file names
