Hi all, I couldn’t find a topic on this, so I’m starting one. I have two servers. We will call them A (Mac) and B (Windows). I have a playlist on A which has items from both servers. Everything worked until a few days ago. Now if I add a movie from server B to this playlist, it doesn’t show up.

I created a new playlist called test on A with one episode of a show on server A. I added two movies from server B and neither showed up in the playlist.

I’ve tried this on the iOS client, the macOS client, and the web version in safari and chrome on a Mac running catalina.

Are you sure you added it to the right playlist? When adding the item, there should be an option to select which server the playlist will show up on. I see this option on Web and Android. I don’t have an iOS device to check. Maybe you added it to the wrong server?

Yup, choose add to Playlist, choose Server A, choose the playlist on Server A. Not there.

Huh. Ok, I think I was able to reproduce. I did a quick test earlier and it worked, but found a scenario it doesn’t. Let me look into this and get back to you.
