The purpose of my code is to return an MPMediaPlaylist object, from a persistentID previously attained.
MPMediaPropertyPredicate *predicate = [MPMediaPropertyPredicate predicateWithValue:persistentID
forProperty:MPMediaPlaylistPropertyPersistentID];
MPMediaQuery *query = [MPMediaQuery playlistsQuery];
[query addFilterPredicate:predicate];
The query.items
are the tracks included in the playlist. What I want to be returned is the playlist itself. How do I get that?
See
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/mediaplayer/reference/MPMediaPlaylist_ClassReference/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/MPMediaPlaylist
for code that shows you how to get a playlist:
What you are actually getting is a list of songs (the
items
), but they are grouped by playlist. That is why asking for the query'scollections
gets you references to theMPMediaPlaylist
objects you are after.
