Description Dieter 2006-05-18 14:27:43 UTC
I am using slimserver 6.3.0 7443 on Linux. Since one of the latest nightlies it seems that playlist support is broken. All my existing playlists are dissapeared after my last wipe and rescan (although the corresponding m3u-files still exist in the playlist directory). After a search for playlists only the playlists do also not show up in slimserver.
I created a new test playlist in slimserver and after a search for playlists only this new playlist did also no longer exist in slimserver.

I have tested 6.3.0 of May 8, 2006 (subversion 7337) and there everything works fine. I then tested 6.3.0 of May 10, 2006 (subversion 7374) and there the playlists disappear after a scan for playlists only. There seems that a bug has been introduced between May 8 and 10, 2006.

Comment 2 Simon Turner 2006-05-20 01:32:12 UTC
I'm not experiencing exactly the same problem but I think it must be related.
I'm on XP Pro, all files flack - SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 7386 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252.

If I add a playlist my nighly scheduled scan does not pick it up. However, when I perform a manual "Only rescan playlists" the new playlist is picked up.
As an addition to this bug I find that even if the new playlist only references, say, 10 songs that are already held in my SlimServer database and music repository the scan can still be very slow indeed (can take 40 minutes). I would have expected it to be virtually instant as it's not adding new music to the database.
Comment 3 Jeremy Redburn 2006-05-20 10:29:08 UTC
This bug is also present in 6.5b1's May 20th Ubuntu package.
Comment 4 Siduhe 2006-05-30 15:11:59 UTC
In response to some of the comments posted on the forums, I don't think this bug is simply a question of playlist support being totally broken in 6.3.0 (all versions). I'm running the same setup as one person who is having problems, (SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 7668 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252) and I can see and access my playlists with no problems. These are playlists created a) via the Slimserver interface and b) with MusicIP, with a mix of some done prior to upgrading to 6.3.0 and some done after. I have also just created and saved a new playlist with no problems using this set up.
Comment 5 Dan Sully 2006-06-06 17:47:00 UTC
All - does this issue still exist in the latest nightly build?

Thanks.

Dan, the 6.3.0. nightly from 06/06 (Windows build) introduces this behaviour for me (for the first time).  Thought it was better to post here than to start a Windows related bug.

A full clear and rescan and the playlists disappear.  They can be recovered by opening each playlist in a text editor and forcing a resave.    A Playlists only rescan then finds the playlists and they work as normal.  However, a further full clear and rescan and they disappear again.  I'm also having problems in that a large number of my tracks don't appear to be synced for MusicIP - there's no little "mm" next to them (but I'll take that up seperately !) Rolling back to the 6.3.0. nightly from 28/05 and doing a full rescan fixes both problems.  What's slightly odd is that the start of the log for the full rescan in both 28/05 and 06/06 is identical (hopefully below). Slimserver is definitely finding the playlists - they just don't show up at all at the end of the scan.

Rescan with 06/06 nightly (6.3.0 XP)

Comment 7 cvj 2006-06-07 12:32:39 UTC
I am having the same problem using SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 7776 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 dated June 7.
Operating system Windows XP Pro.
All playlists generated by Windows Media Player in the .wpl format.

I never had a problem seeing my playlists until I updated to version 6.3.0
Comment 8 Dan Sully 2006-06-07 17:23:36 UTC
Can someone with this problem who is running on *nix, OSX or ActiveState perl, try reverting this change to Slim/Utils/Scan.pm ?

http://svn.slimdevices.com/branches/BRANCH_6_3_x/server/Slim/Utils/Scan.pm?rev=7347&r1=7297&r2=7347


Thanks
Comment 9 Ben Sandee 2006-06-07 17:50:38 UTC
no, reverting that patch doesn't seem to make a difference (linux, debian).

I tried a both playlist-only rescan and a full rescan.

It's interesting.  I can tell it's scanning the playlists because tracks that are in playlists all show up in the browse music hierarchy before other tracks do (those that are scanned from the music folder).  But my browse-playlist is empty.  Tried both fishbone and default skins.
Comment 10 Michael Ferrari 2006-06-08 04:02:21 UTC
Running SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 7805 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 June 8th nightly. SlimServer cannot see any of my playlists. However, MusicIP can see and read them all. I used MusicIP to reaad the playlists, send them to SlimServer, and then used the SlimServer interface to call the playlists a new name. After this, the playlists appeared under the Browse Playlists option.

Unfortunately, when I did a clear & full rescan, the playlists again disappeared. Running a playlist-only scan did not nake them appear in SlimServer. According to the logs, SlimServer finds my playlists, but cannot identify any entries inside them:

Comment 11 cvj 2006-06-08 07:49:18 UTC
I reverted to version 6.2.2 of Slimserver - did a scan - and the playlists are now back.
Comment 12 Marc Auslander 2006-06-08 10:13:04 UTC
The 5-27 build of 6.3 is OK as well.
Comment 13 Dan Sully 2006-06-08 10:38:41 UTC
Fixed in change 7815.

Everyone who is affected by this will need to 'Rescan Playlists' after updating svn or to the June 9th Nightly (built in ~14 hours from now)
Comment 14 Yuly Milner 2006-06-09 04:27:56 UTC
Running SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 7837 - Windows Server 2003 - EN - cp1251 
Rescan playlists did not recreate them in the Slim Server:(
Comment 15 Michael Ferrari 2006-06-09 04:32:31 UTC
Same observation as Yuly Miner; playlists did not appear after rescan. Running SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 7837 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252.
Comment 16 Marc Auslander 2006-06-09 05:18:44 UTC
I installed the 6-9 nightly in Windows XP, blew away the cache, and rescanned.  Playlists are back.  Thanks.
Comment 17 Ben Sandee 2006-06-09 07:41:21 UTC
it's fixed for me, thanks Dan.
Comment 18 Dan Sully 2006-06-09 08:08:13 UTC
For those of you still having problems - can you either Wipe & Rescan, or delete slimserversql.db and start the server up?

Thanks
Comment 19 Yuly Milner 2006-06-09 10:56:44 UTC
Bad news (for me, at least).
I wiped and rescanned; after that I got no playlists, as before; but also I got 0 artists in the database! (albums and track count is OK). Tried also deleting slimserversql.db and restart server - same result!

I'm revering now to 02-22 nightly - the one I had before.
Comment 20 Dan Sully 2006-06-09 10:58:45 UTC
What type of system are you on?

Before you revert - can you please send me your slimserversql.db file?

I'd really like to have this fixed for everyone, rather than running an old version.

Thanks.
Comment 21 Siduhe 2006-06-09 11:52:12 UTC
Fixed for me too, thanks.  Also sorted the related problem I was seeing with syncing tracks to MusicIP.

Already reverted, (and this recovered the artists, but not the playlists),
but I have the slimserversql.db recovered from the recycle bin (yes, I'm on
windows, 2003 server).
How should I send it to you? its 20Mbytes:)

Comment 23 Marc Auslander 2006-06-09 13:52:14 UTC
My superstition is that I delete the whole cache subdirectory, not just the data base, when I install a new server.  Those who are having troubles with the new build might try that unless the experts assure us it makes no difference.

Dan....My Wipe & Rescan just finished, but my Playlists didn't show up <sigh>.

I just deleted the slimserversql.db file and restarted the server; I'll let you know if that avenue works for me.

Deleting the database and restarting the server did *not* work for me. The playlist entries are still missing.

And you have a playlistdir set in settings?

Can you send me a zipped copy of your slimserversql.db file?

Thanks

I just sent the slimsersql.db zipped file to you.

Playlistdir points to a NAS which MusicIP and older versions of slimserver see fine.
Comment 30 Please remove this user, thanks 2006-06-12 21:37:36 UTC
Tried the 6.3 nightly of last weekend. Did not solve the problem.
Cleaned the cache directory before rescanning.
I saved the slimsersql.db. If needed I can send it.
I tried to log the scanning progress and saw in the beginning of the scan the names of the playlists. When the scan was finished the beginning was not in the log anymore. Is there a maximum size of # of lines for the log. Can I change that?
Is it of any help to send the slimsersql.db with a log file? (Which parameters to log then?).
For the time being I went back to 6.2.2 and the playlists work again (too many complaits from the kids).

This bug has the status resolved fixed, it that what it should be?
Thanks, Willem Oepkes
Comment 31 Marc Auslander 2006-06-13 05:37:18 UTC
Just to verify that slimserver can get to your playlists, you might open the server on the web, go to server settings, and press the change key next to the playlists directory entry.  IIRC, slim will complain if it can't read the directory.

You're right. SlimServer complains if it can't find the directory (I renamed mine Plyalists_old):


The server is now rescanning your Music Library.

Oops - "\\READYNAS\media\Music\Playlists" doesn't seem to be a valid directory. Try again.


SlimServer definitely finds the directory, and the entries in the directory (according to the debug log). It's when it parses each playlist that it can't identify the tracks within it.

Sounds like it might be a permissions problem.. are you running as a service?

Can you map the ReadyNAS to a drive letter and try that way?

I'm a little confused on why the log says it's finding the entries.. can you post it here?

Thanks.

Dan....I posted part of my log back in Comment #10 to this thread. I'll map the ReadyNAS to a drive letter and see if that helps....Mike

Dan....SlimServer doesn't seem to like the NAS when it's mapped to a drive letter:

New value for Music Folder rejected: 
Oops - "R:\Music" doesn't seem to be a valid directory. Try again.

\\ReadyNAS\media is mapped to R: - XP can see the path just fine. I'm currently running SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 7927 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252.

Mike - this really seems like a permissions problem.
Comment 37 Tim Fletcher 2006-06-14 04:40:49 UTC
I'm having this problem since installing the 6/12 nightly. Untared into a new directory, so it is a new database.
SlimServer Version: 6.3.0 - 7895 - Linux - EN - utf8 
Comment 38 Tim Fletcher 2006-06-14 05:05:20 UTC
After looking through the diff in the link above, I believe I've discovered why it's not working, for me. My playlists directory is a subdirectory of my music directory. It looks like the patch specifically excludes the music directory when scanning for playlists. After reverting the playlists are showing up again.
Comment 39 Chris L 2006-06-14 12:13:08 UTC
Subject: Re:  Playlist support broken in 6.3.0 (playlists disappear)

This was my problem too. My playlists was a sub-directory of my music directory. I moved the playlist directory elsewhere and now they appear in slimserver.

This was my problem too. My playlists were in a sub-directory of my music directory. I moved the playlist directory elsewhere and now they appear in slimserver. 
Comment 41 Michael Ferrari 2006-06-14 17:11:05 UTC
I hate to answer "me too", but I will answer "me too". I moved my playlists directory outside of my music directory. Now, all my playlists are back.
Comment 42 Dan Sully 2006-06-14 17:43:59 UTC
Ok - I just checked in change 7987 - which should fix for everyone who has their playlistdir inside their audiodir
Comment 43 Chris Owens 2006-06-27 14:21:49 UTC
This bug fix is now part of a released version, and so has been marked closed. If you are still experiencing this problem, please reopen the bug.
