Support Spotify playlist folder structure

[vdbee]

First of all: thanks for all the good work, I use it a lot. I would like to propose the following enhancement as I structure my Spotify playlists using folders. Is it possible to support a foldable folder structure in the webclient? Personally I would like to have the folders unfold by default.

If I remember correctly this is actually a bit tricky to do since we only get the flattened playlist names so any hierarchy has to be inferred. Unfortunately the path separator is a / character but since it's perfectly valid to have these character in your playlist name you can get in a bit of a mess. I think if we want to do this we need to have it user configurable so people can decide on what separator character they want to use (if any).

We've talked about exposing playlists in mopidy in a way that allows use to keep the structure. Essentially something similar to the browse interface, possibly even reusing the browse interface just using a playlists root URI.

Is that in any of the roadmaps yet?

Don't remember if this made it anywhere, it was originally something that I think came up as part of the "list" support. But the idea would be to have browse(ARTIST_ROOT), browse(ALBUM_ROOT) and browse(PLAYLIST_ROOT) which would also allow for things like spotify "my artists" etc

Although it's not a fundamental solution, maybe an additional setting that allows the user to set the depth of the folder structure?

Moped extracts the folders using the /

In fact I have added the code myself to do this (display folder structure).
It is very easy to do; just enhance function processGetPlaylists and add some extra css.
But it is true that some items have a / in the title. This looks somewhat peculiar, but it is perfectly alright to select such an item.
I would be very glad if this could be built in, if you want I have the code available.

Thanks but I'm not sure. I believe it's on the Mopidy road map to address
this by providing a more browse-like API for playlists. So the code will
likely have to change again.
