- pl-add-files:
- - Gathers video files into an M3U playlist with relative or absolute paths.
- - Overwrites an existing playlist only after user confirmation.
- - Single <sort_mode> concept:
- - "nfo_airdate": reads kodi format nfo files to retrieve airdates and embeds them in playlist metadata
- - "randomize"
- - "alphanumeric" (default, sorted case-insensitively by filename)
- Usage:
- pl-add-files [--sort [randomize|nfo_airdate]] [--desc]] <folder1> [<folder2> ...] \
- -o <output_playlist.m3u> [--relative] [--debug]
- pl-add-files <playlist.m3u> -o <new_playlist.m3u> --rescan
- Examples (these need to be checked):
- pl-add-files --sort randomize input_folder another_folder -o playlist.m3u
- pl-add-files --sort nfo_airdate --relative --desc --debug --rescan existing_playlist.m3u -o new_playlist.m3u
- pl-add-files . -o playlist.m3u
- pl-add-files --sort randomize /path/to/videos/ -o random.m3u
- pl-add-files --sort nfo_airdate /path/to/videos/ -o airdate.m3u
- pl-add-files --sort nfo_airdate /path/to/videos/ -o airdate.m3u --debug
- pl-add-files --sort nfo_airdate --desc /path/to/videos/ -o airdate-newest-first.m3u
- pl-add-files playlist.m3u -o new_playlist.m3u --rescan
- pl-add-files --sort randomize /path/to/videoset1/ /path/to/videoset2/ --sort nfo_airdate /path/to/videoset3/ -o riffled.m3u
- Notes:
- - Duplicate video files (by file path) are automatically removed.
- - All metadata is stored as comments at the top of the M3U file; no XML is generated.
- - When using --nfo-sort airdate, each file’s Kodi NFO is parsed for an <aired> date \
- (formatted as YYYY-MM-DD). Files are then sorted by that date (oldest first \
- by default; add --desc for newest-first).
- - Use --debug to print extracted airdate values for each file and the final sorted order.
- - Source folders & sort mode are now embedded in the playlist header for use with --rescan.
- - When using --rescan, the script will import folders listed in the playlist header metadata.
- - Use --relative to emit paths relative to the playlist location.
- System Prompt:
- - ALWAYS preserve the high-level docstring sections in this exact order, and also preserve their content:
- 1. Version
- 2. pl-add-files summary
- 3. Usage
- 4. Examples
- 5. Notes
- 6. System Prompt
- - ALWAYS append all new changes in Changelog block at the very end of the document without altering its existing content. Always keep it at the very end of the document.
- - ALWAYS retain all existing Examples entries; when adding new examples, append only. Except when changing or removing inaccurate or outdated commands.
- TODO:
- - Implement nfo_sort
- - update pl-add-files summary section
- - Check relative vs absolute flag and documentation

- Changelog:
- - Version 2.7:
- - Fixed relative path logic to compute truly relative paths when using --relative
- - Embedded sort mode (and desc flag) in the playlist metadata header
- - Filtered media files by extension to avoid non-media files
- - Prevented infinite recursion by tracking visited playlists in collect_files
- - Version 2.6:
- - Align docstring flags with argparse (--sort, --relative)
- - Enforce --rescan when importing .m3u sources
- - Improve metadata parsing regex for "# Source folders:"
- - Warn when skipping .m3u files outside of rescan
- - Version 2.5:
- - Embedded source folders & sort mode in playlist comments
- - Added --rescan flag to regenerate from embedded metadata
- - Refactored system prompt to preserve structure
- - Version 2.4:
- - Revised nfo sorting: the sort key now consists solely of the extracted airdate.
- - Added a post-sort debug print to list the sorted order.
- - Version 2.3:
- - Previously attempted to include the original index as a secondary key.
- - Removed fallback for nfo_airdate, delegating handling to implementers.
- - Version 2.2:
- - Added --desc flag to allow descending (newest-first) order when using nfo_airdate.
- - Updated metadata header to include timestamp.
- - Version 2.1:
- - Added --debug flag to output extracted airdate values when using nfo_airdate.
- - Version 2.0:
- - Improved duplicate removal, error handling, and WSL path conversion.
