# Playlists (*playlists*) ## Overview Playlists are ordered collections of media. They can be dumb (just a list of media) or smart (based on a media query, such as "all albums from 2017"). They can be organized in (optionally nesting) folders. Retrieving a playlist, or its items, will trigger a refresh of its metadata. This may cause the duration and number of items to change. ### Available Operations * [createPlaylist](#createplaylist) - Create a Playlist * [getPlaylists](#getplaylists) - Get All Playlists * [getPlaylist](#getplaylist) - Retrieve Playlist * [deletePlaylist](#deleteplaylist) - Deletes a Playlist * [updatePlaylist](#updateplaylist) - Update a Playlist * [getPlaylistContents](#getplaylistcontents) - Retrieve Playlist Contents * [clearPlaylistContents](#clearplaylistcontents) - Delete Playlist Contents * [addPlaylistContents](#addplaylistcontents) - Adding to a Playlist * [uploadPlaylist](#uploadplaylist) - Upload Playlist ## createPlaylist Create a new playlist. By default the playlist is blank. To create a playlist along with a first item, pass: - `uri` - The content URI for what we're playing (e.g. `server://1234/com.plexapp.plugins.library/library/metadata/1`). - `playQueueID` - To create a playlist from an existing play queue. ### Example Usage ```php declare(strict_types=1); require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use LukeHagar\Plex_API; use LukeHagar\Plex_API\Models\Operations; $sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder() ->setSecurity( '' ) ->build(); $request = new Operations\CreatePlaylistRequest( title: '', type: Operations\CreatePlaylistQueryParamType::Audio, smart: Operations\Smart::One, uri: 'https://short-term-disconnection.name/', ); $response = $sdk->playlists->createPlaylist( request: $request ); if ($response->object !== null) { // handle response } ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `$request` | [Operations\CreatePlaylistRequest](../../Models/Operations/CreatePlaylistRequest.md) | :heavy_check_mark: | The request object to use for the request. | ### Response **[?Operations\CreatePlaylistResponse](../../Models/Operations/CreatePlaylistResponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Type | Status Code | Content Type | | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | Errors\CreatePlaylistBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | Errors\CreatePlaylistUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | Errors\SDKException | 4XX, 5XX | \*/\* | ## getPlaylists Get All Playlists given the specified filters. ### Example Usage ```php declare(strict_types=1); require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use LukeHagar\Plex_API; $sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder() ->setSecurity( '' ) ->build(); $response = $sdk->playlists->getPlaylists( ); if ($response->object !== null) { // handle response } ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `playlistType` | [?Operations\PlaylistType](../../Models/Operations/PlaylistType.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | limit to a type of playlist. | | `smart` | [?Operations\QueryParamSmart](../../Models/Operations/QueryParamSmart.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | type of playlists to return (default is all). | ### Response **[?Operations\GetPlaylistsResponse](../../Models/Operations/GetPlaylistsResponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Type | Status Code | Content Type | | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | | Errors\GetPlaylistsBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | Errors\GetPlaylistsUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | Errors\SDKException | 4XX, 5XX | \*/\* | ## getPlaylist Gets detailed metadata for a playlist. A playlist for many purposes (rating, editing metadata, tagging), can be treated like a regular metadata item: Smart playlist details contain the `content` attribute. This is the content URI for the generator. This can then be parsed by a client to provide smart playlist editing. ### Example Usage ```php declare(strict_types=1); require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use LukeHagar\Plex_API; $sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder() ->setSecurity( '' ) ->build(); $response = $sdk->playlists->getPlaylist( playlistID: 8419.53 ); if ($response->object !== null) { // handle response } ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | | `playlistID` | *float* | :heavy_check_mark: | the ID of the playlist | ### Response **[?Operations\GetPlaylistResponse](../../Models/Operations/GetPlaylistResponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Type | Status Code | Content Type | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ | | Errors\GetPlaylistBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | Errors\GetPlaylistUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | Errors\SDKException | 4XX, 5XX | \*/\* | ## deletePlaylist This endpoint will delete a playlist ### Example Usage ```php declare(strict_types=1); require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use LukeHagar\Plex_API; $sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder() ->setSecurity( '' ) ->build(); $response = $sdk->playlists->deletePlaylist( playlistID: 3432.93 ); if ($response->statusCode === 200) { // handle response } ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | | `playlistID` | *float* | :heavy_check_mark: | the ID of the playlist | ### Response **[?Operations\DeletePlaylistResponse](../../Models/Operations/DeletePlaylistResponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Type | Status Code | Content Type | | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | Errors\DeletePlaylistBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | Errors\DeletePlaylistUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | Errors\SDKException | 4XX, 5XX | \*/\* | ## updatePlaylist From PMS version 1.9.1 clients can also edit playlist metadata using this endpoint as they would via `PUT /library/metadata/{playlistID}` ### Example Usage ```php declare(strict_types=1); require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use LukeHagar\Plex_API; $sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder() ->setSecurity( '' ) ->build(); $response = $sdk->playlists->updatePlaylist( playlistID: 1579.66 ); if ($response->statusCode === 200) { // handle response } ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | `playlistID` | *float* | :heavy_check_mark: | the ID of the playlist | | `title` | *?string* | :heavy_minus_sign: | name of the playlist | | `summary` | *?string* | :heavy_minus_sign: | summary description of the playlist | ### Response **[?Operations\UpdatePlaylistResponse](../../Models/Operations/UpdatePlaylistResponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Type | Status Code | Content Type | | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | Errors\UpdatePlaylistBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | Errors\UpdatePlaylistUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | Errors\SDKException | 4XX, 5XX | \*/\* | ## getPlaylistContents Gets the contents of a playlist. Should be paged by clients via standard mechanisms. By default leaves are returned (e.g. episodes, movies). In order to return other types you can use the `type` parameter. For example, you could use this to display a list of recently added albums vis a smart playlist. Note that for dumb playlists, items have a `playlistItemID` attribute which is used for deleting or moving items. ### Example Usage ```php declare(strict_types=1); require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use LukeHagar\Plex_API; use LukeHagar\Plex_API\Models\Operations; $sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder() ->setSecurity( '' ) ->build(); $response = $sdk->playlists->getPlaylistContents( playlistID: 5535.42, type: Operations\GetPlaylistContentsQueryParamType::TvShow ); if ($response->object !== null) { // handle response } ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `playlistID` | *float* | :heavy_check_mark: | the ID of the playlist | | | `type` | [Operations\GetPlaylistContentsQueryParamType](../../Models/Operations/GetPlaylistContentsQueryParamType.md) | :heavy_check_mark: | The type of media to retrieve or filter by.
1 = movie
2 = show
3 = season
4 = episode
E.g. A movie library will not return anything with type 3 as there are no seasons for movie libraries

If the `path` argument is a directory, that path will be scanned for playlist files to be processed.
Each file in that directory creates a separate playlist, with a name based on the filename of the file that created it.
The GUID of each playlist is based on the filename.
If the `path` argument is a file, that file will be used to create a new playlist, with the name based on the filename of the file that created it.
The GUID of each playlist is based on the filename.
| /home/barkley/playlist.m3u | | `force` | [Operations\QueryParamForce](../../Models/Operations/QueryParamForce.md) | :heavy_check_mark: | Force overwriting of duplicate playlists.
By default, a playlist file uploaded with the same path will overwrite the existing playlist.
The `force` argument is used to disable overwriting.
If the `force` argument is set to 0, a new playlist will be created suffixed with the date and time that the duplicate was uploaded.
