Disappearing Playlists

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

This is the second time this has happened, where a playlist has (in this case) virtually disappeared. There are two items left in the playlist that previously contained 50+ items. The last time this happened (different playlist), the playlist itself remained but there was nothing in it. Having playlists disappear completely defeats the purpose of having them since it’s virtually impossible to recreate them without a lot of work. It’s not possible to determine when the playlist got emptied, as this is one that’s less played (now won’t be played at all), so I cannot tell whether this happened before or after the last update.
I’m on version 1.7.3.3937 on Mac OS El Capitan

There has to be someplace where playlists are stored as a file(s) that can be backed up or restored I would presume. Maybe not this time, but might help in the future if something disappears once again.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Playlists have continued to disappear, one with hundreds of items now only has fifty. Seven playlists have nothing in them. NO idea when this happened (i.e. which server version update killed them), but with sometimes hundreds of items in a playlist, recreating them is impossible.

What’s the point of spending the time to create playlists if they disappear and there’s no apparent way to back them up?

How can I export a playlist so I at least know what was in it at one time?

Same problem here. No response from Plex support?
