Hello,

I had a little idea, it would be great to be able to download a playlist in m3u format for video formats that are not compatible with the internet browser.

I think for people who do not understand that you have to copy the link in vlc, they could open the playlist directly in vlc, just by clicking on it.

The playlist could have multiple files if the torrent has multiple files.

What do you think ?

I think it's already implemented, but not documented anywhere (other than in the REST API): you can use this URL http://localhost:9000/torrents/{hash}/files to get the M3U playlist. I haven't figured out where to put this link in the UI to make it user-friendly.

I've decided to add the "playlist" option next to the "archive" option in the new header:

The header will appear when there are multiple files in the torrent.

@Smax2k, as I mentioned it only shows up when you have more than one file in the torrent. How many files do you have?
And what version BTW?
