NAME
xspfmaker - make xspf playlists
SYNOPSIS
xspfmaker [--input-file=INPUTFILE] [--output-file=OUTPUTFILE]
[--title-format=FMT] [OPTION]… [PATHS]…
DESCRIPTION
xspfmaker creates xspf playlists of media files to be used in players
like vlc(1). Each path in PATHS is traversed and scanned for suitable
files. A list of PATHS as one per line can also be read from stdin by
not passing it any PATHS or passing it a -. See the EXAMPLES section.
ARGUMENTS
PATHS
List of PATHS to be traversed. All files in the subtree will be
considered for the playlist by querying its duration via ffmpeg.
Discarded files are printed out on stderr.
OPTIONS
-i INPUTFILE, --input-file=INPUTFILE
Input file with a list of one path per line to be to be used in
addition to PATHS.
-o OUTPUTFILE, --output-file=OUTPUTFILE
Output file to be used instead of stdout.
-t FMT, --title-format=FMT (absent=filename)
Specifies the format of the title of each track, FMT must be
either path or filename. If path the title is the complete file
path. If filename just the actual filename is used as the title.
If empty or -, read a list of one path per line from stdin.
COMMON OPTIONS
--help[=FMT] (default=auto)
Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of auto,
pager, groff or plain. With auto, the format is pager or plain
whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined.
EXIT STATUS
xspfmaker exits 0 on success, and > 0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
Create a xspf list from two directories a single file:
$ xspfmaker ~/videos ~/nudes.mp4 /mnt/oldvids > playlist.xspf
or the equivalent:
$ xspfmaker -o playlist.xspf ~/videos ~/nudes.mp4 /mnt/oldvids
or the equivalent getting the list from stdin:
$ printf "~/videos\n~/nudes.mp4\n/mnt/oldvids" | xspfmaker -o
playlist.xspf
or the equivalent but parsing the list from a file:
$ printf "~/videos\n~/nudes.mp4\n/mnt/oldvids" > list &&
xspfmaker -o playlist.xspf -i list
