  • I am Noob - Daily change of playlist m3u file

    Hello to all.

    I am a fairly new LibreElec user. I am looking for a direction so I can further understand how to work with LE. I am running LE on a RPi 3B with a playlist set to autostart. There are a couple of things I would like to do.

    1. Change the playlist content on a daily basis. I have a web service which returns the playlist to be played for any given day. Upon LE system boot up, I need to access the web service, retrieve the playlist of the day. Once playlist is retrieved, I can copy it to the proper folder.

    2. From the playlist I could also determine if I am missing any videos. Once identified I would like to download them into their proper folders as well. I am not sure if LE provide this capability? I know that missing files in the playlist are skipped.

    3. Any documentation I could read which will help me further understand how LE works when booting?

    These steps need to happen BEFORE the autoplaylist executes.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
