Importing M3U Playlists

[wbravin]

Hello friend!
I'm also working with m3u on my Jellyfin, in my case with movies and series, although I believe it works the same way as with music.

For Jellyfin to be able to play m3u, you have to do it through files with the .strm extension, which is nothing more than a .txt text document where you input the m3u link of just one song (or a single playable file).

I know it's tedious; you probably need to create a bot or script that extracts the m3u links from the list and inserts each of them into a .txt file, assigns the name of the song (in your case, a song, in mine, movies), and inserts the m3u link of the specific song inside.

You can create a script that does this massively and turns a whole m3u list into many .strm files.

I know I'm responding late, but I hope it helps.

Best regards.

Hello

Thank you for your reply

Hope you were late because you were having fun LOL

Sorry
I'm not a IT individual, 

I have no clue where to locate directory where jellyfin playlists are saved.
In addition i have no idea on how to build a script to achieve this


My jellyfin is installed as a truenas core jail, and therefore the jellyfin files  are locate in an ix-application dataset which i have no access to.

IMHO

Jellyfin should be able to read m3u files. This is pretty much an standard format

Thank you very much for your help
