1 year ago Hey,
I came along a similar issue with one of my playlists. After importing it, most of the songs were missing. I worked around with the following steps (bare in mind that I had a backup of said playlist):
- Removing the playlist in Vanilla (long press > Delete)
- Also removing the playlist file in the specified playlist directory using a file browser
- Switching to Import M3U, never export in Vanilla's Settings under Playlist
- Force closing Vanilla using Androids system settings (e.g. long press on the Vanilla Music icon > Info > Force stop)
- Copying the playlist to the specified playlist directory using a file browser
- Opening Vanilla Music, closing it again, re-opening it and the playlist was there - counting the duration of the playlist in the corresponding view until it reached the actual Playlist size.
From what I can see, the playlist of >1k songs is complete. Maybe this helps anyone.
[x]): Have tried bothDescription
Playlists imported from m3u files are missing random songs. All paths within the m3u are relative (../). The missing playlist songs themselves are within the music library. For example, Prince - 1999 is in the library, but not in the playlist '1980s' even though it should be. About 80% of the playlists are complete.
I've checked for common themes among missing songs such as differences in ID3 tags, file structure, and naming, but I can see no clear pattern.
I created a test playlist within Vanilla itself, but I can't get it to export. I mention it here as a separate but perhaps related issue.
How can i re-force a sync of the playlists import/export, and also, where are the missing songs? Any help is appreciated.
