Songs not adding to playlist

[FunkyMike03 0]

I have several playlists in .m3u format. Whenever I try to add any new song to these playlists, it seems to be added successfully, but when I check the playlist in Emby the newly added song is not there. It is not is the .m3u file, and the Date Modified on the .m3u file has not changed. I have tried this from several different clients with the same result.

From log file:

Hi @FunkyMike03as a test, if you create a new playlist using the web app, does an m3u file get created for that?

[FunkyMike03 0]

Yes it does. If I create a new playlist then it gets created at C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\data\userplaylists and works correctly. The original playlists that are not working are in D:\Music\Playlists because I share them across both Emby and Kodi from that location.

[Luke 42078]

And then after creating  that new one, are you able to add to it?

[FunkyMike03 0]

Yes.

@FunkyMike03can you temporarily enable debug logging in server log settings, then repeat the test and then attach the debug log? Thanks !

Sorry for the late reply, all the December Christmas stuff makes things busy. Log file attached. I tried adding a couple items to the Christmas.m3u playlist.

@FunkyMike03I think I've found the issue. We'll get the fix included in a 4.8.x maintenance release. Thanks !
