rs-playlist-blocklist

Helper scripts for adding songs to the RS Playlist blocklist.

Configuration

The program reads its configuration from a JSON file named config.json. This file should contain the following options:

songsDirectory: The path to the directory containing the JSON files with song information. blockDirectory: The path to the directory where the output files will be saved. sessionId: The session ID to use for the GET requests. Login to https://rsplaylist.com/ and use your browswer's network tools to inspect the requests after you login. Check for what "PHPSESSID" is set to in your session cookies. sleepSeconds: The number of seconds to sleep between requests.

Here’s an example config.json file:

{
    "songsDirectory": "songs",
    "blockDirectory": "blocked",
    "sessionId": "12345",
    "sleepSeconds": 10
}

Usage

To use this program, make sure you have Python 3 installed and the required libraries (glob, json, os, requests, time, and urllib.parse) are available. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the required libraries.

1. Create a newline separated list of songs you would like to add to the block list. See rocksmithdlc.txt for an example.
2. Create a config.json file with your configuration options (see above). Make sure to login to rs-playlist to set the sessionId and set songList to the file created above.
3. Run the fetch script using the following command:

python fetch-song-details.py

This will fill the songsDirectory with song metadata to add to the blocklist. 4. Run the block program to add the songs in songsDirectory to your block list:

python block_songs.py
