# pl-copyfiles
#
# Copies media files from M3U playlists to a destination folder,
# keeping folder structure and file attributes.
#
# Can use .m3u, .m3u8 (or actually any text file containing a newline-
# separated list of files) with absolute or relative file paths,
# both simple (one line per file) and #EXTM3U formats.
#
# Files will only be copied when needed (newer, changed).
# If multiple playlists are specified and the same file exists in more
# than one playlist, it will only be copied ONCE, saving time and
# transfer volume. (Thinking of mounted remote folders!)
#
# For safety reasons, files outside the specified base folder will NOT
# be copied.
#
# You can use this to
#   - copy your favourite music to a USB stick
#   - copy selected tracks/albums to a synced (Syncthing) folder
#   - copy music from playlists to a mounted remote web radio station
#     folder to ensure the remote station can actually play all files
#     (AzuraCast: Simply mount your station's media folder via SFTP)
#
# chmod +x this script and save somewhere handy so it's in the path,
# like in ~/bin, ~/.local/bin, or /usr/local/bin.

#   - v0.2 -- much more robust and flexible version of
#     https://github.com/AzuraCast/AzuraCast/discussions/6512#discussion-5530977
# 2023-08-18 -- v0.3
#   - first public (Gist) release
# 2023-08-18 -- v0.3.1
#   - updated some comments
# 2023-08-19 -- v0.4
#   - Fix sed sometimes not finding extremely obscure playlist file names.
#   - Display of relative/absolute playlist file paths now dependent on -q switch.
#   - Use pushd, popd when changing directories to resolve file paths.
#   - Add note about URL-esaped 'file://' and 'http://', 'https://' links in help.
# 2023-08-19 -- v0.5
#   - Add experimental URL decoding and removing of 'file://' (-u option).
#   - Add warning in help to use this ony when really needed ('%'/'+' problem).
#   - Playlist entries starting with any scheme like 'http://', 'https://',
#     'ftp://', 'sftp://', ... will now silently be removed (for the transfer,
#     not from the original M3U file). Makes no sense to generate extra errors.
# 2023-08-19 -- v0.6
#   - Heavy rework of URL decoding: Will now only try this if the file path
#     contains patterns '%00'..'%FF' (case-insensitive). -u must still be used.
#   - Playlist entries starting with schemes like 'http://', 'https://', 'ftp://',
#     'sftp://' and the like will be skipped.
#   - We will try to find files for 'file://'-type playlist entries. This usually
#     (not always) requires URL-decoding, use -u, --urldecode to enable.
#   - It is now checked if media files actually exist. If not, they're skipped.
#   - Some optimization for more speed, since extra processing slowed us down.
# 2023-08-20 -- v0.7
#   - URL-decoding is now automatic, no -u, --urldecode anymore.
#   - Reworked playlist file cleanup before transfer: MUCH faster and more robust,
#     works on whole playlist files now, instead on a line-by-line basis.
#     This brought processing time for 131,170 media files in 39 playlists back
#     from 32 to 12 minutes, on a live Internet connection via mounted SFTP folder
#     to a remote AzuraCast station. No glitches or missing files found, although
#     I DO have file paths that include ' " % + and other usually avoided characters.
#   - Massive amounts of testing, especially for my elaborate sed syntax.
# 2023-08-20 -- v0.7.1
#   - Minor change in help text.

Usage: $me [OPTIONS] [PLAYLIST] [PLAYLIST] ...

Copies media files from M3U playlists to a destination folder,
keeping folder structure and file attributes. Avoids unneeded copying.

Options:
  -h, --help         Show this help.
  -V, --version      Show version number.
  -b, --base         Set base music folder to which everything will be
                     referenced. Nothing outside this folder will be copied.
                     (Default: $MUSICFOLDER)
  -d, --destination  Set destination folder for copying. Will be created
                     if it doesn't exist. This MUST be specified.
  -q, --quiet        Be less verbose (will not list every file copied).

Playlists:
  At least one playlist must be specified. You can use globbing ('*.m3u').
  Use quoting as appropriate, like for 'Names with spaces'.

  To use a playlist whose name starts with a '-', use this command:
    $me [OPTIONS] -- '- Playlist starting with a dash.m3u'

Notes:
  Can use .m3u, .m3u8 (or actually any text file containing a newline-
  separated list of files) with absolute or relative file paths,
  both simple (one line per file) and #EXTM3U formats.

  Files will only be copied when needed (newer, changed).
  If multiple playlists are specified and the same file exists in more
  than one playlist, it will only be copied ONCE, saving time and
  transfer volume. (Thinking of mounted remote folders!)

  For safety reasons, files outside the specified base folder will NOT
  be copied.

  $me WILL try to handle 'file://' URLs and URL-decoding.
  Windows relative file paths containing backslashes '\' can be used,
  provided the playlist file's character set is ASCII or UTF-8.
  You can use 'iconv' or 'recode' to convert these to UTF-8, if needed.

  Media files that can't be found will produce an error message, but not
  break the process -- they'll be simply ignored.

  $me CANNOT handle 'http://', 'https://', 'ftp://', 'sftp://', ...
  entries in playlists. Such entries will be silently skipped.

  Usage examples:
   - Copy your favourite music to a USB stick.
   - Copy selected tracks/albums to a synced (Syncthing) folder.
   - Copy music from playlists to a mounted remote web radio station
     folder to ensure the remote station actually has all files to play.
   - Update a radio station's Auto-DJ with new songs.

	# - Change all (Windows) '\' to '/' to make Windows M3Us with relative paths work;
	# this will fail if the character set isn't UTF-8. Use iconv or recode to convert.
	# - If line doesn't contain URL-encoded data (%00..%FF), we're finished here
	# and "branch" (skip to end of sed commands). This protects file paths natively
	# containing '+' or '%' characters, which would otherwise be messed up.
	# - Else start URL-decoding: change all '+' to ' ', then
	# - change all '%hh' to '\xhh' (hex hh).
	# printf '%b\n' (takes 1st sed's output):
	# - Convert 1st sed output's '\xhh' values to readable characters again (like echo -e).
	# Second sed (takes converted input from printf; needs -E for extended regexes):
	# - Remove 'file://' schema (rest of line might contain usable file).
	# - Delete all lines that begin with other schemas, and are unusable for us:
	# 'http://', 'https://', 'ftp://', 'sftp://', 'davs://', ...
