Copying Playlists from iTunes to Plex Media Server on FreeNAS

I've managed to copy one playlist from iTunes to my Plex media server running on FreeNAS. It was an ordeal.

For the next time I try, here are the juicy bits:

Prep the m3u file

• iTunes -> File -> Library -> Export Playlist
• select 'm3u' as the file format
• open the playlist.m3u file and replace all ^Ms with real carriage returns
• remove any files that have non-ascii characters (eg ü, ç, ñ, é, à, etc.)

Get the Converter

• https://github.com/dakusan/PlexPlaylistImporter 
• The README says it requires python 3 but I got it to run with python 2.7.8
• I had to make some changes
• syntax error in print("...", end="")
• munge path at line 104 to change the path necessary because of the chrooted plex jail
• add some debugging print statements

Run the converter

• python imp.py ./playlists/playlist.m3u 90s "/mnt/bluepool/jails/plexmediaserver_1/var/db/plexdata/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-in\ Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db"
