pgriffith 90 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Hi all have a few questions regarding playlists. 1. How the hell do I get playlists to show on my Home Screen? It's in the library order list but does not show. I have 12 in total and only 11 show up. The only way I've been able to access playlists is by adding it at as a Home Section which I'd prefer to not have to do. 2. I've added 5 TV series to a playlist so I can share that with one of my users, is there a way to get it to show as 5 separate TV shows and not a list of 47 individual episodes in one big list? I've had to sort by filename to at least keep them grouped by show. I've looked everywhere, so I'm either stupid or this is a really poor implementation. My user rights has access to all libraries. Interestingly if I go into access and deselect enable access to all libraries, the playlist entry is a different green colour to all the other entries and can't be unselected. Any help appreciated.

pgriffith 90 Posted October 1 Author Posted October 1 Hi ebr, you'll have to be a bit clearer on what you mean there. You talking about in Library in server settings, or from within my user profile somewhere?
pgriffith 90 Posted October 1 Author Posted October 1 That's set to All, and everything in there including playlists is ticked.
Luke 43402 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Ok I would try creating a new playlist and see if that gets it to show up.

pgriffith 90 Posted October 2 Author Posted October 2 Well now it's the next day, it runs a full scan overnight, same behaviour.
Luke 43402 Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred: How to Report a Problem Thanks!
pgriffith 90 Posted October 2 Author Posted October 2 (edited) I don't have a point from when the problem occurred, I can only assume it has never worked, I've always had all libraries selected and it's never been there. I have a log from doing a fresh restart of the server and then immediately performing a full library scan. For shits n giggles I just created a new user and playlists does appear on the home screen for that user, so it's something to do with my main admin user account. embyserver.txt Edited October 2 by pgriffith

Luke 43402 Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Quote I just created a new user and playlists does appear on the home screen for that user, so it's something to do with my main admin user account. OK, this is a good sign. One thing you could try is going to user permissions for your admin user, go to the access tab and just click Save.
pgriffith 90 Posted October 3 Author Posted October 3 @GrimReaper It's not in the sidebar either. @ebrPermissions fully investigated @Luke Saved permissions again, no change. Don't put any more effort into this guys, I can access it from adding it as a Home Section which is good enough, and clearly all the easy fixes haven't worked. What I wanted to use it for (making a TV show list for another user) is actually better served as adding a new collection (which I didn't know were global).
