+I wrote this little snippet of code in response to an email, and I thought it might be useful for other people. +

+ +
+

+Basically, I'm trying to write some code that will connect to a running +XMMS session, grab the playlist and write out a .pls or a .m3u file. +Unfortunately, while XMMS can do this in a single operation, their API +doesn't seem to have a simple hook to do this. +

+ +

+Unfortunately, there's nothing in the remote API that lets you do that +in a single call. But it should be pretty easy to write; just iterate +over the list and print out the necessary lines for each entry. +Something like this: +

+ +
+  module Xmms                                                                   
+    class Remote                                                                
+      #                                                                         
+      # get playlist contents as m3u-encoded string                             
+      #                                                                         
+      def to_m3u                                                                
+        "#EXTM3U\n" + playlist.map { |title, file, time|                        
+          "#EXTINF:#{time / 1000},#{title}\n#{file}"                            
+        }.join("\n")                                                            
+      end                                                                       
+    end                                                                         
+  end
+
+ +

+Then, to save a playlist, you can just do the following: +

+ +
+  xmms = Xmms::Remote.new                                                       
+  File::open('path/to/output.m3u', 'w') { |out| out.puts xmms.to_m3u }          
+
+ +

+Hope this helps... +

+
+ +

+Update: I tossed this code in a downloadable file, and I added an +Xmms::Remote#save_m3u method for free. Download xmms-m3u.rb. +
