Ignore m3u and add dropdown for playlists

[dannymichel 104]

Right now i have thousands of playlists because i have thousands of m3us in my music folder.

it'd be nice if there was either an option to ignore m3u all together or separate the m3u playlists from user playlists.

 

Also, when I want to add something to a playlist i actually made, i have to scroll through thousands of playlists to find the one i actually want.

A dropdown or function where i can type out the name of or part of the name of a playlist to add to it would make sense.

Yes an option for this would make sense. Thanks for the feedback.

Lots of threads similar on m3u and playlist wasn't sure where to post this so............. this thread is old so today emby has it so in the music library you can turn off importing all the m3u's, and you can set a playlist collaboration to non private.... ok, now when I turn off the music library importing, it works great to only show the playlist I made - except for any music playlist I make. That same playlist only shows if I turn the library import back on. An imported list offer no collaboration choice but a playlist made by adding one song at a time to a made playlist does show the menu option for collaboration choice so I can tell the difference from an imported one and a made one. Not sure if this is an over site or it just can't be done with music playlist.

Because the imported list is part of the library, not associated to the user, so it gets hidden or shown in the same manner as the media files.

right, but I'm talking about a music playlist created by making a playlist and then right clicking songs to add to the playlist, and those are not showing up when I turn off the import.

That's not normal. Where are you looking for them?

[StuBailey 37]

For starters I looked in the Playlist Library and it didn't show after turning off the import.. I see how it works so to see that playlist in another library, if it was working, would require I have a path in that/those library.. I have lots working this way except for a music playlist.

HI there, can you please provide a specific example?

How to Report a Problem

Thanks !

I had no clue how to report a problem other than taking a screenshot of before and after so I turned off the import for like the 6th time and now it's working. I also avoided doing a refresh just to see what happens and I notice when you turn the import off, it seems to do a scan on it's own so I doubt the times it didn't work had anything to do with a refresh or whatever.

[StuBailey 37]

it's working perfect and the procedure is so simple I can't imagine what happened. 

[StuBailey 37]

And I'm pretty sure I know what happened because one playlist I made was created using a different sign-in name and it was still set to private. When I made a new one it worked but I still didn't see the first one and that gave me the answer after a bit of thinking.
