Description Ian Pallfreeman 2011-08-16 16:37:39 UTC

The rescan option "Only rescan playlists"... "Only" gives plenty of wiggle room...

If I delete a playlist (M3U file), or point my playlist directory somewhere with no playlists, then rescan my playlists, the old playlists still show up in the web GUI.

Rescanning playlists should handle removals, without a full rescan.

Please.

For reference to the developer looking at this, I can confirm these problems in my setup and there has already been a previously fixed bug a long time ago about the same issue (bug #6710)

Comment 2 Erland Isaksson 2011-08-16 21:37:10 UTC

And the problem still exists in the release candidate for 7.6.1, so it haven't been solved in all the 7.6.1 fixes.

This bug still exists in 7.8.0

A new & changed scan also fails to remove deleted playlists.

Scanner log at debug level

Comment 7 Kyle Dickerson 2015-08-12 01:06:21 UTC

I experience the same issue with 7.9.0 and did not experience it with previous versions.  Scanner finds the correct set of playlists, but is not removing the playlists from the DB that have been deleted from the filesystem.  I attached my scanner log at the debug level, but I didn't see anything in it that looked particularly helpful.

Comment 8 Kyle Dickerson 2015-08-12 01:09:17 UTC

Forgot to add: deleting the playlists manually through the web UI was successful.

Comment 9 Michael Herger 2016-02-08 14:28:59 UTC

This sounds like a side-effect of the simplistic "fix" to work around bug 16037.

Comment 10 Michael Herger 2016-02-08 16:24:39 UTC

Ok, applied a fix. Please test tomorrow's build.
