Mopidy-M3U is an extension for reading and writing M3U playlists stored on disk. It is bundled with Mopidy and enabled by default.
This backend handles URIs starting with m3u:.
Mopidy-M3U was split out of the Mopidy-Local extension in Mopidy 1.0. To migrate your playlists from Mopidy-Local, simply move them from the local/playlists_dir directory to the m3u/playlists_dir directory. Assuming you have not changed the default config, run the following commands to migrate:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/mopidy/m3u/
mv ~/.local/share/mopidy/local/playlists/* ~/.local/share/mopidy/m3u/
There is a core playlist API in place for editing playlists. This is supported by a few Mopidy clients, but not through Mopidy’s MPD server yet.
It is possible to edit playlists by editing the M3U files located in the m3u/playlists_dir directory, usually ~/.local/share/mopidy/m3u/, by hand with a text editor. See Wikipedia for a short description of the quite simple M3U playlist format.
See Configuration for general help on configuring Mopidy.
