The problem

Discord Discussion with Traveling_Gav about the issue here

When trying to add a track to a playlist from the MA Frontend, it opens the dialog of playlists, but it only shows a subset of my playlists + options to add new playlist to MA or Spotify. A lot of my playlists from Spotify are prefixed with - and <space> making names like

- rock
- top40
- chill
- rap

All the playlists which follow this format are shown correctly, but no other playlist is shown from any music providers. Adding a new playlist in Spotify with this prefix makes it show up, and same if I create a MA playlist with this prefix it show up, but all other playlists do not show up

• Adding a new playlist works, but it does not show up unless I give it a name with the same prefix
• The "Playlist" view in the frontend shows all the playlists correctly as expected

How to reproduce

Create playlist named like - <something> and then try to add a track to a playlist in the frontend, and see what is being shown

1. Search for Track
2. Click on ...
3. Click Add to Playlist...

Then only a subset of playlists are shown

So I did some more digging into this, and think I found where the issue might be. In AddToPlaylistDialog.vue where it executes getLibraryPlaylists, this for me, returns a array of exactly 500 elements. But I have a lot more than 500 playlists (closer to 1000, because each album on disk has a playlist).

Most of those playlists on disk show up in MA as editable: false, which make sense, and that's why they are not shown in the frontend. I tested by simply removing all the playlists on disk, and now everything works as expected in the frontend, and it shows my playlists like I expect.

Not sure if there is some limit from the API making it return only 500 elements, or if some bug happens here?

More than 500 playlists is really an exception - that whole dialog is not even suitable for that. Of course we can fix it but it will be lo(er) prio for now. Until then best to exclude those album-only playlists from the fileprovider.
