this plugin adds three commands:
beet airsonictest
this command pings the airsonic server to see if beets can connect to item
beet airsonicsync
this command initiates a scan of the airsonic media folders, gets a list of all songs that beets has recently imported, finds the airsonic ids of those songs, and adds them to a predefined monthly playlist
I like to keep playlists of all songs I've discovered for the month. This makes the tedious process of playlist management on airsonic/subsonic better through automation.
This plugin can easily be expanded to perform many tedious playlist tasks on airsonic/subsonic depending on your specific use case
beet airsonicscan
this command initiates, and waits for completion of a media folder scan
The following fields must be added to your beets config.yaml
airsonic:
server: http://
user: user
password: "password"
port: 4040
log: "/config/airsonic-beets.log"
additionally, you must add airsonic to your plugins: field in config.yaml
you can test to make sure this information is correct by running beet airsonictest
This plugin relies on the py-sonic library and python3 py-sonic can be installed by running
pip install py-sonic
more about py-sonic is available here: https://github.com/crustymonkey/py-sonic
this plugin can then be installed by finding where you installed beets, and copying airsonic.py to
beets/beetsplug/airsonic.py
my beets install was located at:
/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/beets/
Another way would be to include something like this to your config.yaml:
pluginpath:
- /home/user/.config/beets/plugins
And move the file 'airsonic.py' to this directory:
/home/user/.config/beets/plugins
