## Playlist generation template It is possible to generate playlists based on templates. A template could look like: ```JSON { "sources": [ { "start": "00:00:00", "duration": "02:00:00", "shuffle": true, "paths": [ "/path/to/folder/1" ] }, { "start": "02:00:00", "duration": "04:00:00", "shuffle": false, "paths": [ "/path/to/folder/2", "/path/to/folder/3", "/path/to/folder/4" ] }, { "start": "06:00:00", "duration": "10:00:00", "shuffle": true, "paths": [ "/path/to/folder/5" ] }, { "start": "16:00:00", "duration": "06:00:00", "shuffle": false, "paths": [ "/path/to/folder/6", "/path/to/folder/7" ] }, { "start": "22:00:00", "duration": "02:00:00", "shuffle": true, "paths": [ "/path/to/folder/8" ] } ] } ``` This can be used as file and run through CLI: ```BASH ffplayout -g 2023-09-04 - 2023-09-10 --template 'path/to/playlist_template.json' ``` Or through API: ```BASH curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8787/api/playlist/1/generate/2023-00-05 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer ' --data '{"template": {"sources": [\ {"start": "00:00:00", "duration": "10:00:00", "shuffle": true, "paths": ["path/1", "path/2"]}, \ {"start": "10:00:00", "duration": "14:00:00", "shuffle": false, "paths": ["path/3", "path/4"]}]}}' ```
