Cannot Create New Playlists

I am running Server 3.0.5464.40000 on Windows 8.1 and after last update, or the one before, I am unable to create new playlists. It's running as a service on Windows, not as an application. I have tried running the service as the local user instead of "local system" with no avail. 

When I browse movies through the web interface, I right click add to playlist. I choose new playlist, name it something and save it. It brings me to the playlist screen showing the one movie I added. I go back to browsing and add another movie, but the playlist doesn't show. I add a new playlist, name it the same thing, see the solo movie like before. If i hit refresh in the browser or click on Playlists at the top I get the message "Playlists allow you to create lists of content to play consecutively at a time. To add items to playlists, right click or tap and hold, then select Add to Playlist." and it doesn't show any playlists.

 

Repeat the above two more times just (for S&Gs) and when I browse "AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\data\playlists" i see:

  • Test [playlist]
  • Test [playlist]1
  • Test [playlist]11
  • Test [playlist]111

If you look at the playlist.xml file in each, it has the correct movie I added, but MBS doesn't show them in the web interface. I can see some "things" in the log file:

Any ideas? I'm not seeing any specific "ERRORS" relating to the playlists. So any help is appreciated. Let me know if I need to provide any additional information.

Yes apologies. This will be resolved as part of the upcoming release.

No need to apologize! Thank you for the info, I searched before the new year and didn't find anything. I should have searched for the "Playlist problems" thread again. Thanks for your help and quick replies!
