Lots of reports of this same issue. I'm not convinced that Shuttle is responsible for these playlists disappearing, but I don't know what the cause is.

cydia2020 commented 7 years ago

Yes, this even happens on Google Play Music, but maybe if Shuttle is using its own playlist system, then this sorta things won't happen just like Poweramp. And from what I know this seems to be a problem that only happens on a near AOSP system, costumed Android OS like HTC Sense doesn't have these kind of problem.

One of the main problems with implementing a custom playlist system, is third party apps (like Zombies, Run) rely on playlists being available in the MediaStore and actually recommend their users download Shuttle because it works with MediaStore playlists.

I'd rather figure out what the root cause of this issue is firstly.

OK, thanks for that! 👍

Not getting anywhere in identifying the cause of this. It would be good to implement a custom playlist solution.. Perhaps storing playlists in a local DB.

For me I have a clear cause. Playlists disappear when there is an update.

Vanilla Music recently added a feature to sync Playlist as m3u files in a /Playlists folder. It's still in development, however. Maybe shuttle could make use of this as well?
