Hi,

I'm in the process of migrating of Emby server. My only issue is to migrate my Music Playlist. The "old" Emby installation was still using a m3u file for that playlist so I copied it at same place in new Emby installation. Unhappy even after a Music library scan and metadatas update the playlist still doesn't show up :(

I have found some explanations about m3u transfer but it looks like it was working only on old releases of Emby and it's no more possible with current version ?

Does it mean it's impossible to transfer a playlist from an Emby server to an other one ?

Thanks for clarification

Hi, where did you copy them to?

/data/userplaylists and then I created a directory same name as the playlist and then the m3u modified in it:

OK you can't copy files into there. The server will scan and recognize them, but they won't be assigned to any user. 

Copy them instead to /data/playlists.

Thanks, will try it ;) Should I copy the folder with the m3u in it or straight just the m3u file in /data/playlists ?

You can just copy the files in. All users will have access to them, so they will no longer be personal playlists.

Ouhou thanks a lot it works 👍 I have forced a refresh of both Music and Playlist libraries in Emby and then stats of the playlist showed and all tracks and if I play it it works 😍

Just for my Emby culture, only public playlists are still stored in m3u files right ? or only ones that were created with old instances ? but private playlists are stored in db ?

No, all playlists are stored as m3u
