Playlist path and additional music extensions

I had raised two feature requests in a separate forum, but wanted to formally also include them in the right part of the forum as feature request:

1) Playlistpath - Kodi supports to include a playlist path in advancedsettings to support centralized playlists on a server. Any chance to include a setting to include this playlistpath. See below how the advanced settings looks like:
<advancedsettings>
<system>
<playlistspath>smb://username:[email protected]/data/playlists</playlistspath>
</system>
</advancedsettings>

2) I have some files in mp4 and m4v, which are supported as videos, but not as music. To add them to the music library, I need to add these extensions manually in the advancesettings.xml file in Kodi. Any chance to include support for them? Advancedsetting as follows:
<advancedsettings>
<musicextensions>
<add>.mp4|.m4v</add>
</musicextensions>
</advancedsettings>

Thanks in advance!

Alternatively, is there a way that I can manually copy over the advancedsettings.xml over file manager?

I would like to have my musicvideos included in the music library, which is only possible by adding the music extensions below. Also, the playlist path feature would be very convenient.

Thanks in advance!

Any chance to see the playlistpath being implemented in 3.0.x? I really like Kodi's option to use M3U playlist and would love to see them possible in MrMC as well. Big thanks in advance and happy new year!
