Consistent Auto-Generated Playlists Across All Platforms

📋 Summary

Ensure the Auto-Generate Playlists tool produces a consistent set of playlists (and subplaylists) for every platform, not just Arcade and MS-DOS. Today, platforms like Arcade/MS-DOS include rich subplaylists (e.g., Puzzle → Jigsaw, Board Game → Backgammon), while others (e.g., PlayStation) only get top-level genres.

🎯 Feature Overview

• Standardize the auto-generation logic so all platforms receive:

  • The same top-level genre playlists (Sports, Shooter, Simulation, etc.).

  • The same subgenre breakdowns (e.g., Puzzle → Jigsaw; Board Game → Backgammon), when applicable.

• Add a simple wizard toggle to include/exclude subgenres per platform.

• Respect platform metadata (only generate subgenres that actually exist for that platform’s games).

🛠 Example Use Case

• User generates playlists for Sony PlayStation and expects the same subgenre depth as Arcade/MS-DOS (e.g., Puzzle → Jigsaw).

• After standardization, PlayStation receives both the main genres and relevant subgenre playlists—matching the richness seen on Arcade/MS-DOS.

📦 Benefits

• Consistency: Identical playlist structure across platforms improves navigation and expectations.

• Discoverability: Deeper subgenre playlists surface niche titles users might miss.

• Scalability: Easier to manage, theme, and share playlists across setups.

💡 Notes

• Subgenres should only generate if supported by the platform’s game metadata, avoiding empty lists.

• Consider an option to regenerate/refresh existing auto-playlists to apply the new standardized structure.
