Server Version#: 1.19.3.2843 Player Version#: Webinterface Hi there, I would like to import a playlist into Plex. Unfortunately there is no option to do this in Plex. So I did a trick and made the following to avoid redundant data: I took my m3u playlist and created a new media folder. Inside this folder I created symlinks to the original file on the disk (I’m running Plex sever on Linux). This is working so far. But the following is really strange: Most of the Titles are displayed correctly in the list but some titlenames are just empty. The Song can be played without problems only the title is not displayed (and ONLY the title). In the “main” Media Library all titles are displayed. Any ideas? Best regards Joerg ![screen1.PNG](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/b/b/bb36409c03fb265c62d6f54a3b6c23522018ce71.jpeg) ![screen2.PNG](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/e/5/e5aa5d61f4d9c433ed66951d255eb47451d6644c.jpeg) ---
