Export JF-Playlist as M3U? - pixel24 - 2024-02-20

Hi@all,

both my server and my notebook are running Linux. My entire library (music, movies, etc.) syncs automatically to my notebook. The paths (absolute) are identical to those on the server. I use the notebook for parties with DJ software.

My playlists on the JF are under: /var/lib/jellyfin/data/playlists/[Playlistname]/playlist.xml

Is it possible to convert this file into M3U format so that I can import it into the DJ software?

with best

I see a bunch of online websites that will convert XML to M3U. Try one of those?

No, I haven't tried a website yet. I thought that there was a possibility in JF.

Apparently this is not the case. A website won't get me any further as I want to automate the process.

Then I'll see if I can solve it with a Python script.

Hi @pixel24,

Did you achieve converting JF playlist files to m3u file ?

No, I am currently struggling to transfer my playlists from 10.8.13 (Ubuntu 23.10) to 10.9.x (Debian 12) smoothly.
