Playlist created within Neutron disappears

Post by bitschieber » Mon May 25, 2020 7:49 am

Hi,

I'm using Neutron (Eval) 2.14.0 on Android 10.
Creating new Playlist within Neutron does not work as expected:
Created a new playlist, renamed it to test and added some tracks(from Tab Genres, so from files already scanned to Neutrons database).
Everythings works well.
I press the button <Refresh> next to the Playlist Tab. After some time the blinking stops and the playlist is gone!
The file plist....m3u8 is still existent in the file system (/NeutronMP/playlists) and contains data - but it is not showing up in Neutron anymore!

Strange. Any suggestions?

How did you rename the playlist ? In Neutron ? You mustn't change the file name on the os.

Change was via Neutron. The filename is still the same and unchanged.

Took a look at sources and recognized that the foldersymbol for Playlists was red (and the refresh button was missing).
After tapping on the symbol it changed and the refresh button appeared.
Now - after the refresh - all playlists are back!
But why was this symbol red and did not have a refresh button?

This is a known effect which sometimes occurrs when an ongoing refresh had been unsuccessful eg because the application had been shut down. The developer wrote as to that :
[...] because Neutron assumed that process crashed and to avoid crash on start left Refresh switched off. It allows to recover operation in case of bad music files.
