Plex Creating Thousands of Playlists

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#: Version 3.89.2
Player Version#: Version 3.89.2 (Web)

I have 3 Playlists created, 1 standard and 2 “smart”. For some reason my Plex continues to create copied versions of the Playlists with a # appended Playlist_54233. There are now so many Playlists created that I cannot view them in the Web Player so I cannot delete them. I have tried viewing them in the Web front end as well as looping through REST so i can attempt to delete them.

Where are these playlists coming from and how can I delete them?

Thanks

Issue has been resolved, by the way. Unfortunately, the playlists remain once created. To delete them, see here: https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect/wiki/How-to-automatically-delete-playlists

so in trying to run the script - i can’t ever get any playlists to return as Plex continually times out trying to load the list? Any suggestions or can i find the ID for the first playlist in the DB?

I have posted in another thread so please forgive me for posting again , basically I am looking for a way to remove a few thousand play lists , from my PMS , without having to use that python script, if it means I have to stop using PKC in my kodi builds then I will have to live with that , but is there a way to remove them from my PMS please ?
ATM I can only delete them one at a time and theres thousands .

Thanks! I actually dumped the Plex database to a file and searched it. Found a starting playlist Id and then just walked my way through the list one at a time. Far from ideal but successful.
