Unable to bulk add items to a playlist

Server Version#: 1.20.4.3517
Player Version#: 4.46.2

Since the upgrade to 1.20.4.3517, I’ve been unable to add items in bulk to a playlist. The culprit appears to be ERROR - LPE: invalid url: library://x/directory/ each time I add in bulk from the Web UI. If I add them individually, the playlist is created correctly.

Relevant Plex Media Server.log (debug enabled)

I rolled the docker image back to plexinc/pms-docker:1.20.3.3437-f1f08d65b and the issue persisted. I then logged directly into the server (https://plex.my.domain) and was able to successfully add the music to the playlist. Notice the PlayQueue: Converted message now shows a proper library://x/directory/XXXXX

Weird…I was having the exact same issue and thought I was crazy.

Thank you kind internet stranger for posting your advice. I was also able to log directly into my Plex server and bulk add movies to a playlist.

Not sure what the cause is but hope that Plex gets that fixed in the future.

I filed this as a bug.
Can you confirm this only affects video content? I couldn’t recreate it with music.

It affects both video and music for me. I confirmed the same work-around also works for video content.

Try if using the local web app allows you to add multi-selections. http://ip-of-server:32400/web

@OttoKerner - I am able to successfully add multi-selections using the local web app. I’m just not able to with the plex.tv - Launch redirect (remote web?)

Thanks for confirming!

It is called the “hosted” web app :slight_smile: https://app.plex.tv
