While I was successful once, I deleted the “Library” that imported my “Playlists” from iTunes on my Mac because of other issues. Now, after a dozen configurations, I can’t get my playlists imported to my PLEX server. I’ve deleted my “Libraries” and my latest import attempt is as follows:
-
Under “SETTING” clicked “Plugins” enabled “Enable iTunes Plugin”. Also under “MANAGE” clicked “Plugins” and verified that iTunes plugin was present.
-
Set the “iTunes library XML path: to: “/Users/hansvaline/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml”. This is where iTunes has stored the XML for my music.
-
Clicked the “Libraries” option under “Manage” from the sidebar.
-
Clicked the “ADD LIBRARY”.
-
In the popup, clicked the music icon for the “Select type” on the popup sidebar.
-
In the popup, clicked “Add folders” then clicked “BROWSE FOR MEDIA FOLDER”.
-
Selected “/Users/hansvaline/Music/iTunes” from the dropdown directory structure. This the same folder where the “iTunes library XML” is located. Also, attempted to create a library using : “/Users/hansvaline/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media” as the music library path. In either option directory, it found the music and art just fine.
-
Clicked the “Advanced” link on the sidebar popup.
-
Enabled the “Import from iTunes” option.
-
Enabled the “Prefer local metadata” option. No other changes to the defaults for adding libraries were made.
-
Clicked “ADD LIBRARY”.
All my music appears to have been added to my PLAX library along with my “local metadata”. But my playlists are NEVER transferred into PLEX playlists in over a dozen different attempts. I really would like to buy PLEX, but if I can’t get these playlists to transfer over again, I can’t use it. One playlist alone is 2,710 tracks. No way am I going to rebuild the playlists in PLEX’.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
