Playlists not working on 1.43.0.10492

Plex Media Server
1

Docker plex server 1.43.0.10492 version. Playlists not longer load on any client. They have been working fine before this update. This is a smartplaylist.

We are using Linuxserver docker image running on unraid. Playlist shows available on home screen on bottom of screen however no contents. Client is on Android streaming device and same behavior web client. Also tested on the TV shows playlist area same behavior playlist icon there but errors loading contents.

Hi,

I’m unable to reproduce this on that server version.

Which clients do you use that you have seen this behavior on?
Which type of media? ( music, movies, tv episodes)
What are you running your server on? ( Windows, macOS, linux, etc)

When you say they do not load, do you mean under playlists nothing shows up, or that they do not begin playing?

ok I do not have linux or docker but asked some other to check when they are around.

Can you please make a new smart playlist and see it that works. Also check your server logs for possible server corruption. Usually the server logs will saw “malformed” somewhere after trying to open the thing causing issues.

“When you say they do not load, do you mean under playlists nothing shows up, or that they do not begin playing?”
I can see my playlists, but I cannot access them. Neither from the GUI nor from the scripts I have that fills the playlists.

When I try to create a new playlist I get this:

No errors in the log.

Please do the following;

  1. Confirm server DEBUG logging is enabled, VERBOSE logging is disabled.
    SAVE if changes.
  2. Restart PMS
  3. Give it two minutes to start and stabilize
  4. Attempt to create a playlist
  5. Download the server logs
  6. Attach the logs so I may see them.

There are a couple database disk image is malformed entries in your logs. You’ll want to try to repair your DB. I would recommend using ChuckPA’s DB Repair tool.

Had to zap the database, but now we’re up and running with playlists again
