# ASSUMPTIONS
# 1. You have a Plex server.
# 2. You have exported your playlists to a folder of .m3u files.
# 3. You can update configuration values below.

# LOCAL_PLAYLIST_LOCATION - the location to store the generated playlists. If
# you plan on allowing other users/machines/software (such as Plex) to access
# these playlists then you need to pick a location which is either on a network
# drive or shared.

LOCAL_PLAYLIST_LOCATION="/Users/terry/Music/Playlists/"

# TOKEN - the API token required for this script to be able to access Plex.
# Do not share your token with anyone. For details on how to find this, see
# https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/

TOKEN=""

# SERVER - the URL path to the server and port number. This can start http
# or https depending on whether or not you're forcing secure connections. You
# can use 127.0.0.1 to mean "the same machine".

SERVER="http://127.0.0.1:32400"

# LIBRARY_ID - the number of the library that the playlists will be loaded into.
# Make sure this library exists, is set up for music and contains all the songs
# that you have in the playlists. To find your library, go into the Plex web client,
# hover the mouse over the library you want and look at the URL. It will end with
# "source=xx" where xx is the library ID.

LIBRARY_ID=1

# Delete playlists with the same name. Only works if you have xmlstarlet installed.
