recursive link generation with filtering about rclone

[ncw]

ok, this seems to be much faster:

nice!

what is the preferred way to demonize and kill rclone rcd in the background? (i will be running this script only in interactive shells, so i need to catch Ctrl+C to abort)

rclone rcd doesn't have a --daemon flag like rclone mount.

You can ask rclone rcd to stop with the core/quit command.

following this forum post I've came up with this bash function, but it is quite slow:

myonedrivefolder2m3u() {
	while read -r filename; do

		rclone link "my_onedrive:$1/$filename"
		
	done <<< "$(rclone lsf my_onedrive:$1 --include '*.mp3')"
}

myonedrivefolder2m3u  folder/to/share/recursively

[ncw]

Your script will run a lot quicker if you start an rclone rcd server then use rclone rc operations/publiclink as rclone won't have the overhead of starting up the backend each time.

It would be fairly easy to add -R to rclone publiclink though - is this something you'd like to help with? I could provide hints?

ok, this seems to be much faster:

printf "#EXTM3U\r\n"

rclone rcd --rc-no-auth &

# alwars terminate the server when finished
trap "pkill -P $$" EXIT INT

myonedrivefolder2m3u() {
	
	while read -r filename; do
		printf "#EXTINF:-1,$filename\r\n"

		rclone rc operations/publiclink fs=my_onedrive: remote="$1/$filename" | jq -r .url | sed -e 's/$/\r/'
		
	done <<< "$(rclone lsf onedrive:$1 --include '*.mp3')"  
}

myonedrivefolder2m3u  folder/to/share/recursively
