Playlist does not show up anymore on the server (browser, NOT mobile)

Really odd problem, haven’t seen anyone repeat this. I’m not on mobile, I’m on a browser.

At first I saw “playlists” as always on my left side, PINNED. The server crashed for some reason, I restarted it (using windows). Then, playlists showed up greyed out with an explanation point. When I clicked it, it said “NOT FOUND” in the main UI area. I wish I had screenshotted it but I did not. Screenshot of this is below.

I’ve emptied trash, cleaned bundles, optimized database, restarted plex, nothing will bring it back.

What now?

I unpinned it, thinking I could go to my library section and just bring it back - but unfortunately it’s not there anymore.

I just want to add I can see my friend’s playlist entries in libraries, so it’s just me…

Can you still access the playlists section by selecting any of your libraries, then replace the number in the listed URL source (e.g. source=1) by playlists (resulting in source=playlists)?

I can now, yes! Thank you.

Also, it looks like all my playlists were wiped, that’s fine, i’ll remake what I want, just glad the capability didn’t disappear forever! Thanks.
