# ptgdp: Play the Goddamned Playlist
|
|
|
|
A tool to play a plaintext playlist composed entirely of youtube-dl search queries
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Put `ptgdp` somewhere in `$PATH` and install `youtube-dl`.
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
Make a file containing a few download queries. For example:
|
|
|
|
myplaylist.gdp
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
alice in chains love hate love
|
|
megadeth high speed dirt
|
|
tool parabola
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then invoke `ptgdp`:
|
|
|
|
ptgdp myplaylist.gdp
|
|
|
|
See below for more intricate usage.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Move `ptgdp.conf` from this repo to `~/.config/ptgdp.conf` and change the values as you see fit. Alternatively, invoke `ptgdp` with `-c` and point it at your config file.
|
|
|
|
## Return Codes
|
|
|
|
| Code | Meaning |
|
|
| --: | :-- |
|
|
| `1` | Syntax error |
|
|
| `50` | Misconfigured backend |
|
|
| `51` | Backend could not be set up (i.e. mpd failed to update) |
|
|
| `60` | Playlist does not exist |
|
|
| `61` | Playlist is unreadable |
|
|
|
|
## Idiosyncracies
|
|
|
|
* Because I haven't quite figured out how to into mpd sockets, this tool assumes that `$XDG_MUSIC_DIR` (`~/Music`) is the root of your library.
