Playlists is a library for working with media playlist files. The
original motivation for the library was extracting URLs for streaming
radio stations that use PLS and M3U playlist files.
The package also includes an executable that can dump the URLs from a
playlist file and convert between playlist file formats.
- [PLS] []
- [M3U and M3U8] [M3U]
Future Plans
Some playlist files can be really big. I plan on adding support for
incremental parsing and generating via io-streams at some point
in the future.
Library Example
import qualified Data.ByteString as BS
import Text.Playlist
readPlaylist :: Format -> IO Playlist
readPlaylist fmt = do
content <- BS.getContents
case parsePlaylist fmt content of
Left err -> fail $ "failed to parse playlist on stdin: " ++ err
Right x -> return x
Executable Example
$ playlist urls --format PLS < somefile.pls
$ playlist convert --from PLS --to M3U < somefile.pls
