PlexAmp minimize and duplicate playlists

I have a suggestion, and a problem I can’t seem to figure out.

It is really hard to minimize PlexAmp. I like to run my music apps minimized because I do so much switching between other apps. But the minimize button for PlexAmp is hidden and difficult to find. I cannot recount the number of times I’ve accidentally maximized instead of minimized! And right clicking on the icon on the taskbar doesn’t have a minimize option either - as is annoyingly normal for Windows 10 icons, but that’s not a Plex issue. Could the minimize button be merged into the PlexAmp player or added to the right-click menu on the taskbar menu?


Onto my problem. I have iTunes playlists turned on at the server, and on the server I see only one copy of every playlist. But for some reason on Amp and on the Player I have duplicate copies of every playlist. And I mean every Player - Android (Samsung Galaxy 6, 7 and 9, and Samsung Tab A), iOS (iPad and iPhone 10), Roku, PlayStation, other Windows computers, Google Chromecast, Amazon Display - ALL of them.

I reiterate, the server only shows one playlist for each playlist, and there is only one playlist name in the iTunes folder. So, I have no idea where these duplicates are being pulled from, and why Amp and the Players are showing them, regardless of platform.

What I have tried so far
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes on the server computer more times than I can count. I have manually deleted all the Registry entries to make sure I was getting a clean install. After the last time I even created a new playlist - same thing. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the server several times. I didn’t go as deep removing it, but I did run CCleaner on the Registry a couple times before reinstalling.

Can someone help me figure out what is happening here?

What do you mean by this? The web app?

I have playlists in iTunes, I have, for example, one called ‘Late Night Drive.’ Only one.
In the Plex Server, under Playlists, I also have have only one ‘Late Night Drive’

But in all the aforementioned players and PlexAmp, I have 2 ‘Late Night Drive’ playlists. Same songs, in the same order. They are identical. But, going back to both iTunes and the Plex Server - only one copy is showing, NOT two. I don’t know why all the players are duplicating the playlists.

Where are you seeing this “in the plex server”?

If all of the apps are showing duplicates, it’s likely they exist. Possibly from a double import of iTunes playlists…
