JSPF CLI : A command line tool to convert playlists between different formats

JSPF CLI is a robust command line tool (CLI) relying on the JSPF format to convert and validate playlist files.

Supports conversion between: jspf,xspf,m3u8,m3u,pls

JSPF is an open format used to describe a list of multimedia files (audio or video), created by Xiph. It is both simple and flexible, making it a good choice for programming purposes.

This module was originally developed for Spiff Radio, which uses JSPF as a fundamental part of its architecture.

Validation is done using a JSON Schema based on the XSPF specifications.

Installation

$ npm install -g jspf-cli

Convert a playlist

jspf-cli convert [options] <path_in> <path_out>

Options

• -i <file>: Path to the input file [required].
• -o <file>: Path to the output file [required].
