deadbeef-playlist

This is a Python library for reading and writing playlists in the "DBPL" binary format, created by my absolute favorite desktop audio player DeaDBeeF.

I created it to be able to edit paths to audio files in the playlist, although it's possible to change any tracks properties.

Example

Let's imagine you have a large .dbpl playlist with hundreds of items, and you want to change tracks paths from /data/music to /Volumes/music. Write a script named script.py:

from dbpl import Playlist
from argparse import ArgumentParser

if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument('--input', required=True, help='input file')
    parser.add_argument('--output', required=True, help='output file')
    args = parser.parse_args()

    playlist = Playlist(args.input)
    for t in playlist.tracks:
        uri = t.get_uri()
        uri = uri.replace('/data/music', '/Volumes/music')
        t.set_uri(uri)
    playlist.save(args.output)

Then use it:

python3 ./script.py --input old.dbpl --output new.dbpl
