Modifying playlist

[Mirality]

I'm currently reading the /requests/playlist.xml file from another program, as suggested in another topic.

I'd like to be able to programmatically modify the playlist as well -- in particular, removing items (either by index or by id) and inserting items at a specific position (not just at the end), again either by index or by "id to insert before".

The readme shows a command to remove items but implies it's not actually working. I can't find anything for inserting items.

I'd prefer if there were some way to do it just using the scripts provided with VLC, but I'm ok with adding a custom script in if that's the only way to do it. But I'm not sure what it would need to call.

It looks like development of new features related to playlists
is not supported or welcome or no interest in shown.

Good idea is to Javascript playlists via html interface + vlc web plugin + vlcplaylists add-on for Mozilla by Helga.
