jasonwilliams 36 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Hello, I haven't been using playlists for a while because of the problem with ET for Xbox with large lists. I went to try and play today and noticed that all of the playlists have been reduced to about 40 items. Has anybody else seen this happen and is there a way to recover?
Happy2Play 9783 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Do they appear this way in the web client?
jasonwilliams 36 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Posted January 12, 2019 All clients show the same playlist content. For example, I had a playlist with almost 2 days worth of music that is now showing 2 hours. I use the backup tool, but it only keeps 5 backups and this appears to have happened quite a while ago.
jasonwilliams 36 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Posted January 12, 2019 I go to hamburger menu --> Playlists then click on the ... on one of the playlists.
jasonwilliams 36 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 Refresh metadata made no difference. I also checked to make sure the actual music files are still in the library and they are there.
Luke 42081 Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Make sure they're in the library using the exact same paths as what is stored in the playlist file.
jasonwilliams 36 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 How do I view the playlist file? Is it in appdata somewhere?
Happy2Play 9783 Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) How do I view the playlist file? Is it in appdata somewhere? Well technically it depend on your install, but default location would be appdata. \Emby-Server\programdata\data\playlists Edited January 13, 2019 by Happy2Play
jasonwilliams 36 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 Thanks Happy. Found it. It seems the songs are entirely missing from the playlists. The good news is I found a backup that still has them, however when I copy the playlists from the backup (overwriting), the songs still do not appear in ET. Am I missing a step to restore them?
jasonwilliams 36 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Some of the songs have appeared, but still doesn't show all. I did check the paths and they are valid. Edited January 13, 2019 by jasonwilliams
Happy2Play 9783 Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Do they appear properly in the web client, after you restored them?
jasonwilliams 36 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Posted January 13, 2019 No, not showing in the Web Client either.
jasonwilliams 36 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Posted January 14, 2019 After clicking Refresh Metadata, the songs are appearing. Very thankful for all the help! I'm not sure how my playlists were truncated, but things appear to be working now.
