Import of m3u playlists to Library missing some tracks

[simardd 1]

I have the latest Emby server release running on Windows.  My music collection is properly structured in folder collections. I have 14 m3u playlists that get imported when I create my mostly flac music library.  Somehow, a small percentage of tracks don't get imported.  For example, out of the 168 tracks in the attached Latest Hits.m3u file, 9 tracks are missing in my library.  I manually scanned the Emby playlist and the first 2 missing tracks I found were the ones by Carly Rae Jepsen.  How do I troubleshoot why they are being skipped?  I could not find anything in the attached embyserver.txt log.

Thanks, PenkethBoy.  I see that now.  I can also see the other 7 tracks that have similar issues.  Is there any way to have Emby handle the UTF characters?  These are downloaded using my Deezer subscription and manually identifying them and correcting them on my downloaded copies is out of the question.  Interesting to note that Plex Media server handles them without issue.

ensure the m3u file is in utf-8 or utf-16 format - might fix it

I found a workaround.  I recreated the playlists in m3u8 format using PotPlayer.  After rebuilding my music library, the missing tracks have reappeared.  Thanks for your help.
