Add Music Playlists on Vita (using db file)

Post by ManifestX »

Who is this for:

- Users without a PS3
- No PS Login, can't use CMA/PS3
- Users with music and want the songs in a playlist

Needed:

- PS Vita (with Henkaku)
- `DB Browser for SQLite` Application
- Music imported either by Media Importer v0.91 Homebrew or CMA

Steps:

Get AVContent.db:
1. Open VitaShell, press Select (FTP)
2. With FileZilla, or any other FTP program, go to ux0:mms\music\.
3. Copy AVContent.db to PC; It is recommended for you to make a backup in case of errors

Create Playlist:
1. Open DB Browser for SQLite
2. Open Database, select AVContent.db
3. Click on `Browse Data` tab
4. Go to the drop down table selection: tbl_AVContentList
5. Select the button `New Record`. My created ID is `72057628397666305`
6. Change type field to `2`
7. Change title field to whatever you like; I put `Zombie`, but it can be null as well.

Find Music IDs:
1. Go to the drop down table selection: tbl_Music
2. Find the IDs you would like to be in the playlist. I am using IDs `72057611217797183` to `72057611217797186`

Add songs to Playlist:
1. Go to the drop down table selection: tbl_AVContentItem
2. New Record -- If error, then go into Execute SQL tab:

INSERT INTO "tbl_AVContentItem"("id", "list_id", "item_id", "item_type") VALUES (NULL, 72057628397666305, 72057611217797183, 3);
/*
For each playlist that you added, you would need to change the first value (72057628397666305); for each music id (song), you need to change the second value (72057611217797183) according to the playlist and/or song that you are managing.

Legend:
`72057628397666305` = ID of Playlist
`72057611217797183` = ID of music
*/
3. The order of the music in the playlist is the value under order_of_item.
The first item is 0, and then is incremented by 1000.
i.e. 0, 1000, 2000...9000, 10000, 11000, etc.

Finale:
1. Once done press CTRL+S or `File` > `Write Changes`
2. Replace AVContent.db on your Vita at the following path: ux0:mms/music/
3. There is no reason to reboot, just go straight into Music bubble and your new Playlist should be there

Please let me know if there is any additions or errors anybody experiences.

@ManifestX, i need to thank you so much, this works like a charm; is a lot of work adding songs one at the time, but i do everything exactly you as you say exept for this:

2. New Record -- If error, then go into Execute SQL tab:

INSERT INTO "tbl_AVContentItem"("id", "list_id", "item_id", "item_type") VALUES (NULL, 72057628397666305, 72057611217797183, 3);

for each list you need to change the first value (72057628397666305) and for each song you need to change the second value (72057611217797183) acording to the list/song you created. (is in there but maybe a little confusing)

i hope that someone could make a hombrew making this more easy, but i really thank u for this guide, i was trying to find something for making/adding playlist to the ps vita like 2-3 weeks and nothing until NOW.

I hear you @Lestatlh. I was also going through the same thing, and it was driving me crazy. I took it into my own hands, and I figured out how the sqlite db worked and decided to share.
I also changed the step that you mentioned, hopefully it is easier to follow now.

Cheers,
