About

FTP Playlist Grabber
Detailed Description
FTP Playlist Grabber is the fastest way to turn any FTP directory listing into a ready-to-use video playlist.

Open any FTP index page (Apache, nginx, lighttpd, custom servers), click the extension icon, and it instantly finds every video link on the page — then lets you export them as a playlist for VLC, Kodi, mpv, Potplayer, or any compatible player.

✨ Features

Smart Multi-Strategy Scanner: Detects video links via anchor tags, pre-formatted blocks, bare text URLs, data attributes, and video/source elements — works on virtually every FTP listing style.

5 Export Formats: * .m3u — Standard playlist (VLC, Kodi, Windows Media Player)

.m3u8 — UTF-8 playlist (best for non-ASCII filenames, HLS players)

.pls — Winamp / Foobar2000 / legacy players

.xspf — XML Shareable Playlist Format (Rhythmbox, Clementine)

.txt — Plain URL list for scripting or custom use

Powerful Selection Controls: Click individual files to include/exclude, Select All / Deselect All / Invert Selection, filter by filename or URL search, filter by video extension, or sort by original order, alphabetically, or grouped by extension.

Drag to Reorder: Drag and drop files in the list to rearrange your playlist before exporting.

Per-Item Actions: Copy individual URLs to the clipboard, open a video in a new tab, or remove a specific file from the list.

Stats Tab: See a visual breakdown of video formats found, with a bar chart by extension type.

Scan History: Keeps a log of your last 50 scanned pages with video count and timestamp. Click any entry to revisit the page.

Recursive Subdirectory Scanning: Optionally scan linked sub-folders automatically (configurable depth 1–5). Limited to the same origin for safety.

Fully Configurable: Add custom video extensions, set default export formats, toggle serial number displays, toggle clean title generation in #EXTINF tags, and adjust the default sort order.

Right-Click Integration: Right-click any FTP page and choose "Grab Video Links → Playlist" to open the scanner instantly.

Keyboard Shortcuts: Ctrl+A (Select all), Ctrl+R (Rescan), and Esc (Clear filter).
