PLaylist editor for Linux
(1/1)
N3Cr0:
Many Linux users complain about this issue, but the answer can be found only on one hidden website in the whole web, so I decided to write a post about it:
The UT playlist editor doesn't work on linux (at least not in most distributions, e.g. Ubuntu) so you have to work around this issue.
Option 1.: Write a pplaylist by your own
Option 2: I found this shell script, you should be able to execute it from any place of your computer:
--- Code: ---#!/usr/bin/perl
#Little Perl Script to generate UT2004 playlists
#GPL 2 or later
#by Sk2k4_ops
print("UT2004 Playlist Generator\nBy sk2k4_ops\@yahoo.com\n\n");
print("\t1) Generate Windows UPlaylists.ini
2) Generate Linux UPlaylists.ini
q) Quit
choose an option: ");
chomp($win_lin=<STDIN> );
if(lc($win_lin) eq 'q'){
exit();
}
while(){
if(int($win_lin) == '1'){#Windows
print("Please enter directory <EX: C:\\music\\ >(enter 'q' to quit)\n: ");
chomp($some_dir=<STDIN> );
$newdir=$some_dir;
}
if(int($win_lin) == '2'){#Linux
print("Please enter directory (enter 'q' to quit): /");
chomp($some_dir=<STDIN> );
$newdir="/$some_dir";
}
if(lc("q") eq $some_dir){
exit();}
chdir($some_dir);
if(int($win_lin) == '1'){#Windows
print("Enter Location of UT2004 <Default is C:\\UT2004> : ");
chomp($ut2004dir=<STDIN> );
open(PLAY, ">>$ut2004dir\\System\\UPlaylists.ini") || die "$!";
}
if(int($win_lin) == '2'){#Linux
open(PLAY, ">>$ENV{HOME}/.ut2004/System/UPlaylists.ini") || die "$!";
}
opendir(DIR, $newdir) || die "can't opendir $newdir: $!";
@dots = grep { /.ogg$/i || /.m3u$/i || /.mp3$/i && "$newdir/" } readdir(DIR);
closedir DIR;
if(@dots == 0){
print("\nNo media files in $newdir: ogg(s) , mp3(s), or m3u(s) \n\n");
next;
}
print("Name of New Playlist (Don't use spaces): ");
chomp($playl=<STDIN> );
print PLAY "[$playl StreamPlaylist]\nCurrent=0\nbNeedSave=False\n\n";
my $x=0;
@ndots=sort(@dots);
foreach(@ndots){
if(int($win_lin) == '1'){#Windows
print "Added:\nPlaylist=$newdir\\@ndots[$x]\n\n";
print PLAY "Playlist=$newdir\\@ndots[$x]\n";
}
if(int($win_lin) == '2'){#Linux
print "Added:\nPlaylist=$newdir/@ndots[$x]\n\n";
print PLAY "Playlist=$newdir/@ndots[$x]\n";
}
$x++;
}close(PLAY);
print PLAY "\n";
}
--- End code ---
In the first menu you can decide if you wanna make a playlist for a Linux or a Windows system - it depends on the paths.
