Are you sure? It's in your log that you provided four days ago.

Yes, I created a new playlist, scan the library and it deleted my playlist. How do we fix this? What’s strange is this started happening a a couple months ago, it was fine before that 

 

i removed the scripterx a month ago

This will become why is only your system doing it and how do we reproduce it?

Are the user created playlist m3u files in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\data\userplaylists folder empty?

[Happy2Play 9780]

I guess another test would be can you create a new user and create a playlist and see if the same thing happens?

[johnnychillout 0]

yes, the folders are out there but the only file  the only thing in the folders is the one m3u file

and i created a new playlist using a different profile. ran the library scan, and playlists disappeared

i deleted the scan media library scan trigger (it was running every 12 hours). not sure if that will fix it

I wouldn't really consider that a fix but rather if this is associated with the library scan then we should get to the bottom of that.

OK please attach the emby server log from that time period. Thanks.

Since you are on Windows I would spin up a portable install, change Emby ports, and create a test library and see if the same happens.  I have not been able to create a playlist and have it just disappear or come back empty.  But if Emby is actual doing this it should be in the server log.

here is the last log

Dev may see something but I am not.  Not sure if Debug logging will provide any more info.

Have you tried spinning up a portable and retesting?

How do I set up a portable

Download the portable extact to any folder you like and launch the exe.

Emby Server for Windows

Note by default Emby always installs using the same ports so you will want to shutdown existing temporarily and launch new install and ensure to change ports on the network page.  Then both can run simultaneously.

I would just setup a test library but if you run both you don't want both writing metadata as you will put each in a scan loop as then both see and do updates.

@johnnychilloutwere you able to try this?
