Bugzilla – Bug 3522
iTunes playlist not available with 6.5
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:39:24 UTC
Just upgraded to the latest build of 6.5 (Mac OS X version), and since then I can't see my iTunes playlists anymore. Not even after a complete rescan. I mean the playlists I made inside iTunes. In 6.2.2 and 6.3 I could just access them, now there's... nothing there! All songs are available though. What's wrong? Mac G4 400 AGP now @ 1 GHz (upgrade card), 1 GB RAM, OS X 10.4.6
I think I am seeing this on XP as well
(In reply to comment #1) > I think I am seeing this on XP as well > That would mean it's a standard bug in 6.5b1! I have tried to find what it could be - really to no avail, complete reinstallation, iTunes new, altest version - no avail.
actually, works fine for me on win2k. iTunes 6.0.3.5
try scanner.pl --itunes --d_itunes
iTunes playlists are showing up fine here on Tiger..
Dear KDF, you say "try scanner.pl --itunes --d_itunes", should I go to the commandline and type this? Sorry, I'm a novice....
That's correct, use Terminal. You'll find scanner.pl in /Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server
I upgraded to Monday's (I think) 6.5 release for XP, cleared the library and did a scan followed by a rescan and the playlists persisted, so seems OK now.
Great - the fixes I made worked then.
Sorry, although some report it's working, in my case it isn't! The dbdeletion and rebuilding process seems to take place, and all tracks do get added, and it states (end of the list): 2006-06-14 23:22:04.7642 iTunes: starting playlist parsing, cleared old playlists 2006-06-14 23:22:10.2690 iTunes: got a playlist array of 3720 items 2006-06-14 23:22:10.2709 iTunes: got a playlist (itunesplaylist:90�s Music) named 90�s Music Use of uninitialized value in substitution iterator at /Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server/CPAN/URI.pm line 76. 2006-06-14 23:23:17.3384 iTunes: playlists now has 3720 items... 2006-06-14 23:23:17.5197 iTunes: got a playlist array of 649 items 2006-06-14 23:23:17.5213 iTunes: got a playlist (itunesplaylist:Onno's Compleet) named Onno's Compleet 2006-06-14 23:23:29.6141 iTunes: playlists now has 649 items... 2006-06-14 23:23:29.6255 iTunes: Finished scanning iTunes XML 2006-06-14 23:23:29.6267 iTunes: Finished Scanning 2006-06-14 23:23:29.6278 iTunes: scan completed in 1632 seconds. Still nothing shows up, also rebuilding using the command in the SlimServer webpage doesnt't change things. The PlayList items stays empty. Weird!
evert - is your iTunes collection on an external or network drive?
Hi Dan, No it's on the same machine, even on the system HD... Would you need machine details? Should I mail you the system profile? Evert

Just installed the latest nightly, 8051, and did a full rescan. And lo-and-behold: there they are! My playlist have reappeared. I can't tell what cahged, but it isn't broken anymore. Thanks! (I think)
