Playlist & file relocation (Linux)


Recommended Posts

Posted

I moved my music files location (added a hierarchy for easier remote access), which broke my playlists.

The move I did is systematic in that I would only need to edit the playlist information and add a directory string. Is there a way I could automate this process so the playlists work again? I have over 1,000 files affected, so manual is not going to work, but I can do a few manually to test.

I tried editing the xml files, but that didn't work (or I did it wrong).

An example is below:

From:    /media/home/Home_Theatre/Music Backup/Jazziz CD's/2020-2025/2022 01 Winter Passion/Disc 2/04 Lush Life.flac

to:    /media/home/Home_Theatre/Music Backup/J-M/Jazziz CD's/2020-2025/2022 01 Winter Passion/Disc 2/04 Lush Life.flac

Adding the "J-M" is all I need to do. How can I do this?

Thanks

Hi, in Emby Server 4.8, playlists are m3u files now, so try editing those. Once you've done that, then I would run a library scan afterwards.
