This commit changes the output of the play plugin to always use files instead of folders when generating a playlist when using the `-a` option. A new `use_folders` option was added to preserve the old behavior for anyone who wishes it.

Play Plugin
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The ``play`` plugin allows you to pass the results of a query to a music
|
|
player in the form of an m3u playlist.
|
|
|
|
To use the plugin, enable it in your configuration (see
|
|
:ref:`using-plugins`). Then use it by invoking the ``beet play`` command with
|
|
a query. The command will create a temporary m3u file and open it using an
|
|
appropriate application. You can query albums instead of tracks using the
|
|
``-a`` option.
|
|
|
|
By default, the playlist is opened using the ``open`` command on OS X,
|
|
``xdg-open`` on other Unixes, and ``start`` on Windows. To configure the
|
|
command, you can use a ``play:`` section in your configuration file::
|
|
|
|
play:
|
|
command: /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC
|
|
|
|
You can also specify additional space-separated options to command (like you
|
|
would on the command-line)::
|
|
|
|
play:
|
|
command: /usr/bin/command --option1 --option2 some_other_option
|
|
|
|
When using the ``-a`` option, the m3u will have the paths to each track on
|
|
the matched albums. If you wish to have folders instead, you can change that
|
|
by setting ``use_files: False`` in your configuration file.
|
|
|
|
Enable beets' verbose logging to see the command's output if you need to
|
|
debug.
