Auto Import/Refresh Playlists

Hi.

I use foobar with foo_upnp to serve music to my Soundbridge and WDTV but manage my music and playlists in another app.  Foobar is great at keeping up with changes to my music collection but for playlists.  If I want to serve the latest playlists I have to manually remove and add them again to Foobar.  Is there any way I can automate this?

You can create an Autoplaylist via Album List or Media Library Search. Click the triple-dotted button.

Thanks.  But the criteria for the contents are not known by Foobar (unless I have missed something clever in Autoplaylist).  They are in an external playlist.

There's no such thing as an external playlist, as everything is imported.

It only uses the Media Library, not contents from playlists.

Yes.  But they do exist (cos I made them) so AutoPlaylist is not the solution.  So how can I auto import my external playlists?

You can't, AFAIK.
