kPlaylist is a music database that you manage via the web. With kPlaylist you can stream your music (ogg, mp3, wav, wma, etc.), you can upload, make playlists, share, search, download and a lot more.

This version was created from fragments of the (now defunct) kplaylist.net site and version 1.8.512 which can be downloaded from http://kplaylist.com/.

In addition to what 1.8.512 had to offer, version 1.8.713 features:

• inclusion of "getid3" v1.9.17 for improved features & security
• support for FLAC, OGG and MP3 audio
• full UTF-8 support (web pages and MySQL using 'utf8mb4')
• support for PHP Imagick instead of GD
• FLAC transcoding support
• FLAC/OGG showing the correct "year"
• enhanced Icecast/Shoutcast streaming ("radio" feature)
• IPv6 support
• experimental lyrics support (may change, don’t overuse it)
• PHP7 compatibility (hopefully)
• … and more

Note: You do not need to modify the index.php file itself. Just create a file kpconfig.php and put all your personal configurations in there. Use example.kpconfig.php as a starting point.

The auto-update feature can easily be used via crontab like this:

0 9 * * * /usr/bin/lynx -dump "http://127.0.0.1:8080/kplaylist/index.php?update=5000&user=autooperate"

The above means: Do an auto-update every morning at 9:00 a.m., assuming that kPlaylist runs on the local machine on port 8080, in a web folder called "kplaylist".

The "radio" (streaming) feature can most easily be used with my ices0 streaming client, using an ices shell script like the following:

#!/bin/sh

# ices shell script

# The first line should be a path to an audio file
#echo "/mp3s/arcadefire2.mp3"

# The next line is optional
#echo "The Arcade Fire - Neighbourhood #2 (Laika)"

# Get next filename to play from kPlaylist
# can be one or two lines, depends on setting of $cfg['appendradioname']
filename=`curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8080/kplaylist/index.php?radionext=1&pass=password"`
echo "$filename"

again assuming kPlaylist runs on the local machine on port 8080, in a web folder called "kplaylist".

Note: I can and will only test this under Linux. It may work with other operating systems or not, up to you to find out.
