Ticket #1603

As part of LiveSupport's network functionality, users will have the ability to export and import playlists either with or without their component files. A playlist that is exported without component files would then require that on import, the system would try to automatically find the missing files in local storage. Such a search would occur based on the unique filenames given by the network. Import of network files would require that network-assigned filenames not be overwritten.

In the event of duplicate files, the system would prompt the user to pick which one he wants.

Export will also have a “gather for output” functionality which would create an archive file which includes the playlist and its component files. The user should have the ability to choose the format for the playlist, having options to save as native LiveSupport SMIL, XSPF or M3U.

Such an archive file, on import, would import the playlist as well as the component files into local storage.
