riothamus 53 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I am running a Fedora server that mounts my media over an NFS share with read-only rights to the data. For some reason, I have playlists that have been automagically generated that I did not create. I attempt to remove them via the web app, and they disappear from the Playlists page for about 5 - 10 minutes. But if I go back to the playlists tab again, then the ones that I had removed are back again. Has anyone else experienced this before?
Luke 42078 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Probably due to emby not having permission to delete your playlist files, and as a result the next library scan just picks them up again.
riothamus 53 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Posted July 30, 2018 So Emby will need write permissions to where my media is stored? I figured that playlist information would be stored in the database that Emby uses, and not local files.
Solution Luke 42078 Posted July 30, 2018 Solution Posted July 30, 2018 They are, if you create them in Emby. The ones you're referring to are most likely playlist files in your media folders. 1
riothamus 53 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Posted July 30, 2018 Hmm, I'll need to do some digging to see if I have some errant files in there then. I assume that it picks up .m3u files? Are those the only ones the scanner would look for?
Luke 42078 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 m3u, m3u8, pls, wpl are the ones it will pick up.
riothamus 53 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Posted July 30, 2018 Roger that. I'll run a find on my music folder later to see if any stray playlists are hanging around. Thanks for the tip!
