example.json

When using the curate command, a series of expressions is provided in a .json file to indicate which playlists to generate.

The following example.json creates three .m3u files based on the videos present in the /TV directory. The cars and trucks playlists will contain any filename that matches the regular expressions.

The planes example specifies criteria for inclusion and exclusion, both as regular expressions. According to the exclusion criteria, all shuttles belong in the trucks playlist.

{
    "path": ".",
    "subdirs": ["TV"],
    "patterns": {
        "cars": "(car|auto|sedan)",
        "trucks": "(truck|bus|shuttle)",
        "planes": {
            "include": "(jet|plane|rocket)",
            "exclude": "shuttle"
        }
    }
}
