Wilco
Thanks Ryan, fixed!
The original Playlist Export Tool is no longer maintained by the creator Hector Avila. V2 contains some new features, and a new maintainer, Wilco.
This extensions allows the creation of m3u or pls files. These can be absolute or relative links, and so can be copied to other computers (and will work windows<->linux/osx).
For feedback please use my google code page
Updated to work with 1.10.1
Added support for m3u8 unicode playlist support, special thanks to ekea30072 !
Any chance you could add .m3u8 support? It looks like it would be simpler to write than .m3u.
Thanks for taking this add-on under your wing, Wilco.
Hello Wilco
Just noticed that accentuated characters in the FILENAMES (not tags) are written incorrectly (hence preventing the playlist from working).
for instance: Roulé become Roulé
Thanks
Also, apart from this bug, I think another feature could be nice: generate playlist files on a device directly.
With the following assumption that the user has to meet first:
- the device is connected in MSC mode
- no transcoding is needed (same file extension on device and laptop)
- the structure of the folders and filenames is the same on the device and on the library (by user's configuration of Songbird)
In these conditions, user can select any number of playlist (from the Songbird library) and export them in the default export location, by making the path relatives but a new parameter we need, which is the "Root for relative calculation"
This new parameter is by default the same as the Default export location, but will be set different if we export to a device:
- My file is stored on C:\Songbird\Albumxxx\Titlexxx.mp3
- My default export location is: F:\Music
- My 'Root for relative path' will be set to "C:\Songbird"
So the file will be stored in F:\Music
but containing entries like: Albumxxx\Titlexxx.mp3
because if we use it without this, the relative path calculation is currently producing entries like:
..\..\F:\Music\Albumxxx\Titlexxx.mp3
which obsviously my device won"t like
Also, together with this new param, keeping the selection of playlists to export PERSISTENT between 2 usages of the add-on would be nice to have (at least by an option).
Sorry if this is confusing :)
Thanks
I was experiencing lock-ups an unresponsiveness any time I tried to export a playlist longer than a dozen or so songs. Longer playlists or multiple playlists were out of the question.
I went into Preferences and disabled "Make sure paths are correct case" and now exports run extremely fast and without error. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the hard work Wilco, I'm glad to have finally this plug-in up and running.
Whenever I attempt to export playlists I get the error "The playlist "Recently Played" cannot be exported because the directory that you want the the playlist exported cannot be found."
The directory exist and I have tried many different directories. Any ideas?
awakefie same problem here...
Special characters bug still not fixed so I can't use your good idea, too.
:(

There is a typo in export_03.js that keeps this add-on from working:
Line 158
this.\defext=pb.getIntPref(prefpre+"exportFormat");
should be
this.defext=pb.getIntPref(prefpre+"exportFormat");
