Spotify playlist plugin

[Mao899 2]

For the few days I played around with Jellyfin, the one feature that DID work, and was great (Plex can do this as well) was the ability to set up an API to sync playlists with Spotify playlists. Would be a nice touch for Emby to have a plugin for this as well. All my existing playlists I had created on Spotify were available on both platforms, I just needed to populate my server with the relevant audio files.

Hi, since Emby supports normal m3u playlists, you don't really need an Emby-specific plugin. You really just need a tool to create m3u playlists from your spotify account.

Of course you will also need the music in your emby library. do you have that?

The ones I'm referring to are live playlist sync modules. When you add it to your Spotify playlist, it updates my Jellyfin and Plex playlists automatically - you would of course need a local copy of the track.

Maybe one of those can just be adapted to sync the changes to regular m3u playlists? Then you'd probably have one tool that would work for any music player.

That isn't to say that we couldn't develop such a thing, but I think it makes more sense to just sync spotify to m3u files.

and voila, it seems like there is a plethora of such tools already:

https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/issues/1914

Export to m3u files in a folder that is part of an emby music library. Run a library scan in Emby and it should pick them up.

Yeah, there are a bunch. Was just looking for the same integration that Plex and Jellyfin have, set it and forget it. No manual importing required.

[Luke 42077]

Emby Server's backing store for playlists is m3u files anyway, so I wouldn't look at using a standalone tool as an inferior approach.

[Mao899 2]

All I use is a container called PlaylistSync, it automatically syncs Spotify playlists into Plex, and Jellyfin integrates through an API. Add a track in Spotify, it's added to the playlist in those 2 apps. No idea what the playlist format is, they're just there.

Any chance I can get some resolution to the problem I'm having with playback controls on Cast/Play On? I'd really like to move forward with continuing to use Emby. So far it's not very useful to me without those controls.

It does look like this one you suggested might do the job, it does look like it might do "live" updates to an .m3u playlist. I'll check it out.

know that emby and jellyfin api are very similar, so using your current solution but using your emby server info/credentials will most likely help, only differences i found is the way users work in emby compared to jellyfin

You might be on to something there...it was a plugin for Jellyfin if I remember right, I'll have to see it can port over to Emby...

A plugin would be cool. I currently use Lidaar to sync with my Spotify playlist  to get files, and Soundiiz to sync those Spotify  playlist on Emby. It all hands free once setup.

Turns out Jellyfin's the way to go. Install the Spotify Playlist plugin, set it up and you don't even have to waste time with Soundiiz, and it's free. I'm done with Emby and the total lack of support for paid features.

I would also like this. But then again, I would also like to see some support for YouTube playlists. Could these features be created together maybe?
