Here's the process that I go through:
1. With LMS running and an empty playlist for a player, I add 4000+
files to the playlist and a clientplaylist file is created in prefs
which contains references like:
Code:
--------------------
#EXTURL:file:///music/Music/Jazz/Keiko%20Matsui/A%20Drop%20of%20Water/01%20Ancient%20Wind.wav
#EXTINF:382,Ancient Wind
/music/Music/Jazz/Keiko Matsui/A Drop of Water/01 Ancient Wind.wav
#EXTURL:file:///music/Music/Jazz/Keiko%20Matsui/A%20Drop%20of%20Water/02%20Light%20above%20the%20Trees.wav
#EXTINF:288,Light above the Trees
/music/Music/Jazz/Keiko Matsui/A Drop of Water/02 Light above the Trees.wav
--------------------
2. I start a full wipe and rescan which first rewrites the
clientplaylist in prefs with tmp:// urls similar to:
Code:
--------------------
#EXTURL:tmp:///music/Music/Jazz/Keiko%20Matsui/A%20Drop%20of%20Water/01%20Ancient%20Wind.wav
#EXTINF:382,Ancient Wind
tmp:///music/Music/Jazz/Keiko%20Matsui/A%20Drop%20of%20Water/01%20Ancient%20Wind.wav
tmp:///music/Music/Jazz/Keiko%20Matsui/A%20Drop%20of%20Water/02%20Light%20above%20the%20Trees.wav
--------------------
3. Shortly after the clientplaylist is rewritten with tmp:// urls, the
browser display is refreshed and all the playlist entries disappear
similar to the above screenshot.
4. After the rescan is complete, the clientplaylist still contains just
tmp:// urls as above.
5. Neither a refresh of the browser page or restarting LMS will cause a
correct browser display of the playlist though the playlist will play
properly. I cannot add any files to the playlist and there is no way to
clear the playlist from the browser.
6. I stop LMS and edit the clientplaylist to change 'tmp://' to
'file://' and the entries look like:
Code:
--------------------
#EXTURL:file:///music/Music/Jazz/Keiko%20Matsui/A%20Drop%20of%20Water/01%20Ancient%20Wind.wav
#EXTINF:382,Ancient Wind
file:///music/Music/Jazz/Keiko%20Matsui/A%20Drop%20of%20Water/01%20Ancient%20Wind.wav
file:///music/Music/Jazz/Keiko%20Matsui/A%20Drop%20of%20Water/02%20Light%20above%20the%20Trees.wav
--------------------
7. I start LMS and soon the browser window is refreshed and the playlist
is displayed correctly. The clientplaylist still contains file:// urls.
