beets-gogd-plex

A plugin for beets to create playlists for live Grateful Dead releases in your library.

It came about because I wanted to be able to listen to individual shows with their tracks in the right order, as opposed to the disc order which might have been changed to fit more onto the discs.

Features

  • Creates Plex playlists from releases it finds in your collection
  • Updates the same playlists if you add more releases to your library

It does this by creating m3u playlist files for each show that it knows about and can find tracks for you in your library. This all done by Musicbrainz track IDs, so your library will need to be properly tagged.

The m3u file is copied to where your Plex server can read it, and then Plex is instructed to create a playlist.

Installation

python3 -m pip install beets-gdplaylists

Configuration

Enabled the plugin:

plugins:
    - gdplaylists

Ensure your plex connection is configured:

plex:
    host: localhost
    secure: false
    token: <your token here>
    library_name: "Music"

By default, the m3u files will be placed in a directory called .playlists in the root of your library (directory in your config file). If you need to change that, you can reconfigure the plugin:

gdplex:
    playlist_dir: "/Volumes/music/.playlists/"
    # remote_dir: "/music/.playlists/"

If, for some reason, this means the directory that Plex sees is different, you can configure that with the remote_dir field. If your beets and plex servers see the same files at the same paths, you won't need that at all.

Usage

beet gdplex

By default it's very quiet, you can use beet -vv gdplex to see what it's doing.
