I need a simple plugin for dynamic smart playlist based on folder name, help!

Ive been searching everywhere - at first i thought i should try using kodi on ubuntu but its too bloated and is laggy on a pi3.

-simple mp3 playback of local files on usb drive

  • ftp into folder to add new music
  • scheduling of specific playlist at specific times
    -have those specific playlists update automatically also while playing to include specific criteria e.g "add all files within folders which contain “afternoon”

I cant seem to find any out of the box solution via plugins with anything.
I was using volumio and doing it all manually in terms of the playlist creation but i really need it to be automated.

Can anyone help me? is Volumio a good choice or is there something else out of the box with a plugin which can achieve what i need?

There is no dynamically playlist within Volumio, like JRiver has.
The easiest way to accomplish it within Volumio:

  • Create a playlist on folder level in your case folder “Afternoon”
  • Play this created playlist randomly
