## How to use
After [installing](#installation) the plugin and restarting Jellyfin
create a file in `config/data/smartplaylists` like this:
create a empty file in `config/data/smartplaylists` like this, maybe
you want to generate a playlist of your favourite rock songs:
```
$ echo '{}' > config/data/smartplaylists/a.json
$ touch config/data/smartplaylists/Rock.yaml
```
Afterwards run the Task `(re)generate Smart Playlists`, this will rename
the `json` file and populate it with some default values. You can now
the `yaml` file and populate it with some default values. You can now
adjust the file to your liking. [Go here](examples/index.md) to see more
examples.
Example file
```json
{
"Id": "a1d02dee-f1da-4472-bee3-f568c15c8360",
"Playlists": [
{
"PlaylistId": "24f12e1e-3278-d6d6-0ca4-066e93296c95",
"UserId": "6eec632a-ff0d-4d09-aad0-bf9e90b14bc6"
}
],
"Name": "a1d02dee-f1da-4472-bee3-f568c15c8360",
"Program": "(begin (invoke item 'IsFavoriteOrLiked' (user)))",
"Filename": "/config/data/smartplaylists/a1d02dee-f1da-4472-bee3-f568c15c8360.json",
"Enabled": true
}
```yaml
Id: Rock
Playlists:
- PlaylistId: 24f12e1e-3278-d6d6-0ca4-066e93296c95
UserId: 6eec632a-ff0d-4d09-aad0-bf9e90b14bc6
Name: Rock
Program: (begin (invoke item "IsFavoriteOrLiked" (user)))
Filename: /config/data/smartplaylists/Rock.yaml
Enabled: true
```
This is the default configuration and will always match all your
favorite songs (and songs which are in favourited albums).
To change the filter you can append a `|` (pipe) to the Program
line and write multiline filters like this:
```yaml
Porgram: |
(begin
(invoke item "IsFavoriteOrLiked" (list user)))
```
This is equivalent to the above example (not counting the other
fields obviously).
### Id

The filename is derived from this.
### Playlists

The name of the generated playlists, this is just a default value.
If the user changes the name of their playlist the plugin will
work as usual
still work and remember the correct playlist.
### Program
A lisp program to decide on a per item basis if it should be included in
the playlist, return `nil` to not include items, return `t` to include
them.
the playlist, return `nil` to not include items, return any other value
to include them.
The configuration page defines some useful functions to make it easier
to create filters. The above filter for liked items could be simplified
to: `(is-favourite)`.
#### Available definitions
- **lower**: lowercases a string (`(eq (lower "SomeString") "somestring")`)
- **is-genre**: check if the item is of this genre, partial matches
allowed, the example filter would match the genre "Nu-Metal" (`(is-genre "metal" (genre-list))`)
- **is-genre-exact**: the same as `is-genre`, but does not match paritally
- **is-favorite**: matches a favorite item (`(is-favorite)`)
### Filename
The path to this file.
The path to this file, only used internally and updated by the program.
