10.6 Unable to View Playlists Unless User Has Created One #1906
Reference in New Issue
Block a user
Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @omniusaspirer on GitHub (Jul 21, 2020).
Describe the bug
Upon updating to 10.6 I noticed that I was unable to view any of my previous music playlists until creating a new playlist after the update, which then allowed me to see all my preexisting playlists. This is a regression from 10.5.5 on which a user was able to see all server playlists regardless of whether they had personally created one.
System (please complete the following information):
To Reproduce
Create a playlist on one user, then note that playlist is not visible on another user until 2nd user creates a playlist.
Expected behavior
All server playlists should be visible to all users regardless of whether they have personally created a playlist (ideally playlists could optionally be flagged as public/shared but that would be a feature request).

I just tested 10.5, it looks like users without created playlists were not able to see other users' playlists.
Digging through the current code I see where playlists are being dropped, but this looks to require a much larger fix.
@omniusaspirer commented on GitHub (Jul 23, 2020):
There was absolutely a change somewhere in the 10.6 update which removed the ability for users to see even their own playlists unless they create a new playlist post 10.6. Worse still, if that user deletes the new 10.6 playlist they once again lose the ability to see their own pre-10.6 playlists, thus forcing the creation of permanent dummy playlists by each user with a previous playlist or the recreation of all old playlists.
Just one of my personal playlists contained over 1200 items, so while I could manually go through them all and force my users to do the same if a lesser quick fix to seeing a users own playlists could be implemented it would be appreciated.
@omniusaspirer commented on GitHub (Jul 23, 2020):
I just recalled that the reason users were able to see playlists without creating them was because I'd put in m3u playlists which were visible to all users regardless of whether they'd created their own. This then allowed them to see other users playlists as well. Unfortunately the 10.6 update simply deleted any non XML playlist from the playlists directory so that workaround feels less viable after being once-bitten.
@FazeThree71 commented on GitHub (Jul 30, 2020):
Regarding the m3u playlists tidbit - I've always removed these from my folders so that Jellyfin would handle the playlists internally. So for me, the m3u file doesn't apply but I have the same issue.
@michaelhthomas commented on GitHub (Nov 19, 2020):
Still seeing the same issue in 10.6.4. Can confirm that creating a new playlist as an affected user resolves the issue, for some reason. Using internal playlists only.
@Vodes commented on GitHub (Mar 1, 2021):
Just gonna bump this and say that the same thing is also happening to me. Ubuntu 18.04, Jellyfin 10.6.4
@Shadowghost commented on GitHub (Mar 1, 2021):
Will be tackled when the library db rewrite is done because playlist handling (obviously) isn't done properly in it's current implementation with the current db.
@Vodes commented on GitHub (Mar 1, 2021):
Ah okay thanks for letting us know.

Firstly, I'm a newbee on github.
I'm using docker image jellyfin/jellyfin:latest (10.8.0). Just wanted to report that I'm having kind of similar trouble with playlists as well.
That is; playlists work well for root user and the next user I have created for myself. However all the other users I create have the same issue. They make their first playlist, it's created with success but when they navigate to Home page then click on "Playlists" then there's this loading circle for forever. They cannot access even their own playlist.
Before realizing/testing this I had modified playlist.xml under one of my Playlists to share it with other users. But recently I have deleted config/data/playlists/* folder content mistakenly along with all playlists. However this didn't solve the problem.

This happens to me as well. Uninstall reinstall, removed any file location address with . in them (Lord.of.the.Rings.mp4) to (Lord of the Rings.mp4) after playlists are made and show up for everyone they disappear with first library scan.

The playlists are still in C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\data\playlists but wont show again until I remake playlists for every user!
I noticed I had MANY playlists when I first installed Jellyfin so I removed 45 or so made by music m3u files by deleting all m3u files in music library and the playlist finally showed up when I made a new one but still disappear when I scan library. I have a lifetime license on plex but I am done with them so when this is fixed I will be shutting down plex. This is the only thing holding me back from switching everyone to Jelly. I will donate same amount a plex a lifetime license costs to Jellyfin as soon as this is fixed. I read the part "As a project, we generally do not like asking for donations - we are entirely volunteer-run and intend to keep Jellyfin free as in beer, as well as free as in speech, forever. We do not wish, support, nor intend donations to privilege any user's voice or priorities." but I always donate to projects like this that I use and I will use Jellyfin when fixed. Thanks
I wonder if that GPT AI chatbot could fix this? I would be scared to try it cuz it might make gone with the wind unplayable.

Wow, came here to see if this was a known bug and quite surprised to see it has been open for almost 3 years.
@phatina commented on GitHub (May 29, 2023):
Any news about this?
@Shadowghost commented on GitHub (May 29, 2023):
Fixed in master by #9770 #9746 #9466 and #8526
The PRs enforce that users are only able to access their own and global playlists from the filesystem. Playlists beween users need to be explicitly shared (UI implementation of that in jellyfin-web is still pending).
@phatina commented on GitHub (May 29, 2023):
I tried the mentioned workaround by creating one empty playlist and then the other shared popped up. Okay, I'll wait for an upcoming release...
@Back4More420 commented on GitHub (Jun 10, 2023):
My own playlist STILL disappears with a scan using 10.8.10! I read on another thread this would be fixed with new release BUT STILL BROKEN!
@Back4More420 commented on GitHub (Jun 10, 2023):
My own playlist STILL disappears with a scan using 10.8.10! I read on another thread this would be fixed with new release BUT STILL BROKEN! I created an empty playlist and my real playlist did a scan and the only playlist shown is the empty one! This is NOT OFF topic! It may be off Version number but topic is ON POINT!
@cvium commented on GitHub (Jun 10, 2023):
Please stop. You're upset, we get it.
@Back4More420 commented on GitHub (Jun 10, 2023):
UM I am reporting a problem not venting. Still broken!
@Shadowghost commented on GitHub (Jun 10, 2023):
Writing in caps does imply some things...
Nonetheless I can not reproduce this behaviour on current master.
@Back4More420 commented on GitHub (Jun 10, 2023):
Here is a link to a video showing it is still not working. https://rumble.com/v2tb7wq-jellyfin-playlist-is-still-broken-after-4-years.html
I understand some people think you are yelling when using caps but caps can emphasize a word or phrase also.
@crobibero commented on GitHub (Jun 10, 2023):
Your video shows 10.8.10, current master is 10.9.
@Back4More420 commented on GitHub (Jun 10, 2023):
Thank you. When will that be up for me to download or is this an unstable version? I will remove the video until I can try and verify the 10.9 is working for myself. I only posted it to show you.
@stom66 commented on GitHub (Aug 30, 2023):
I am also having this problem running 10.8.10.
Creating a playlist allows users to see all playlists made on the server. Removing that same playlist stops the user from being able to see any playlists at all. It appears that all users must own at least 1 playlist created since 10.6 to be able to see playlists at all.
I see 10.9 was mentioned a couple of months ago, but I cannot see where to upgrade to this latest verison - there's currently nothing under the GH releases tab and the index of releases at repo.jellyfin.org shows 10.8.10 as the latest available version.
@Shadowghost commented on GitHub (Aug 30, 2023):
10.9 is work in progress (it's the
unstableversion availabe either via docker or our Debian/Ubuntu repos).
