beets-plugin-play

Beets plugin that sends track query results to a music player as a playlist.

Usage

beet play query

Configuration

By default the play command will use your system default application for m3u files.

To override this you can configure the command attribute in your beets config.yaml.

play:
    command: /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC

The command attribute should point to the player of your choice with any arguments required to handle a path to a m3u playlist which the plugin will append. The above example is for VLC on OSX.

You can optionally set a debug attribute to help with setting up your command attribute.

play:
    command: cvlc
    debug: true

Options

-a, --album - search by album and load album folders rather then individual tracks

Install

this plugin can be placed inside the plugings directory of beets and configured as described above. ~/beets/beetsplug/play.py
