Delete track by 'playlistindex'

[eddr]

The 'delete' action deletes a track from a position in the playlist - Great

The 'getplaylist2' action lists the playlist with each tracks 'playlistindex' - Not so great if you want to find a track and delete it, as the PLAYLISTINDEX is not the playlist position.

For example, if I use getplaylist2 to get the playlist and search the results, I would like to be able to delete the track in the playlist which may have a playlistindex of 0.

Thanks!

There's slight inconsistency.

The index for the delete command is 1-based (so the first track has index = 1). The getplaylist2 command is 0-based, where the first track has index = 0.

It happened because getplaylist2 command was initially for our internal use, then we decided to open it in the generally available RadioBOSS edition.

Ok... so I get the track index from playlist2 and + 1 to get the position in the playlist ?

Can 'getplaylist' also show playlist position?

Thanks

Yes.

The getplaylist command may be deprecated in the future, because it reads tags for all retrieved files, and this is very slow for large playlists.
