No. If you want to convert a MLT XML playlist into a Melted playlist,
then you have to write a MVCP client program/script that steps through
the playlist items and adds them to melted. In the process, you will
probably lose all filters and transitions. Melted is intentionally
simple; you can give it a complex XML composition, but the comp is
just a virtual clip and Melted does not try to understand it. There is
somewhat of a middle ground where you can attach filters to only clips
(as opposed to tracks). Some filters like watermark can encompass a
transition. Then, you can make a bunch of smaller XML files/chunks
with filters applied to clips and enqueue those. Or, you can expand
the program that reads MLT XML (using MLT API or not), stepping
through the playlist, to "break apart" the XML into chunks of only
producer and filter elements, PUSHing those to Melted. Or, forget
Melted and make your own server with a more expressive protocol.
