Add support for Spotify playlist management

[jodal]

Moved from mopidy/mopidy#42:

It would be nice to be able to manage Spotify playlists through Mopidy. E.g. create/rename/remove playlists, and add/move/remove tracks in playlists.

Was thinking of adding this feature.

• Create new spotify playlists
• Add and remove tracks from spotify playlists
• Rename spotify playlists

Right now I assume any playlist that you create would have to only include spotify items in order for it to sync to spotify. I'm guessing this feature might also require additions to pyspotify which I could do as needed.

Planning to read through some of the code at which point I'll have something more intelligent to say on this topic.

Currently getting 'Playlist with scheme "spotify" can't add track with scheme "spotify"' error in ncmpcpp, which does not make sense.

Please don't hijack unrelated issues.

But it is related, because Mopidy-Spotify currently can't manage playlists, hence this message.

Any update about this one?

Not now, spotify will close libspotify, which is used by this project, until 2017 or it is closed already (#110)
So there will (proprably) be currently no changes for libspotify.

There are no changes required to libspotify (or pyspotify) to implement this feature as they already have full support for modifying playlists. The changes required to implement this feature are in mopidy-spotify/mopidy.

If I remember correctly the main blocker is some sensible generic handling when tracks come from multiple backends, as per @peterlvilim's comment above.

So, no update here sadly.

I think ideally you could add tracks from multiple sources to a playlist in mopidy, and it would sync only those tracks that are from spotify back to the spotify playlist, no?

Is there anything going on with this?

[kingosticks]

I don't know of anyone working on it. We need to start using the Web API for most playlist stuff so that probably includes this. Although since you can't edit the Spotify owned playlists (the ones seemingly now incompatible with libspotify) that might not technically be the case. But doing everything the same way does have value.

To understand that correctly - does that mean that as things are right now, it will never be possible to add tracks to a playlist that was created directly in Spotify? As in have playlist changes made both in Spotify and with Mopidy be synced.

[kingosticks]

No, I'm referring to Spotify playlists owned by the Spotify account. Such as toplists, new releases etc.

Ah of course - alright, so eventual support for editing one's own spotify playlists should be possible then.
