How to read playlists created in jellyfin

[skibidislicers]

Title. I have jellyfin installed on my PC and use symfomium to sync playlists between phone and PC and that works fine. However, I noticed that the playlist file that jellyfin creates ends in .xml and when I try and open it in musicbee I just get an empty list.
Is there any way to get musicbee to read and be able to edit those playlists?

The contents of that xml file...is it just a bunch of file paths to the music files structured as follows or similar?

Code

..\Music\Tracks\Evanescence - Going Under.mp3
..\Music\Tracks\Watershed - Undone.mp3
..\Music\Tracks\Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel.m4a

If so, then it should be possible to rename that .xml to .m3u (a format which MusicBee will be able to read). But we'll get to this once you confirm the above.

Technically, no, at least not on an ongoing basis and without some manual intervention. That .xml format won't be compatible with MusicBee right off the bat.

Edit:
MusicBee can currently read playlists on an .m3u and .mbp (MusicBee's own) format.
It can also write to the following formats:

unfortunately xml files have a header, so just changing file extension won't work.

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby and I believe Emby will create a playlist from an M3U file if you place it in your media folder.

So the solution might be to create a playlist with Musicbee and export that as an M3U to your media folder and hopefully Jellyfin will pick it up and make a playlist out of it. You just have to make sure the paths are correct in the M3U.
