Can't Delete an Entry in My Playlists
« on: February 10, 2022, 08:37:57 pm »

I have an entry at the end of my Playlists named "Web Media". I don't know how it got there. When I right-click it and then try to delete it, it won't delete. How can I get rid of this entry? Please see the attached image.

Try dragging it up one level.

That didn't work. I tried dragging it up to one of the other playlists and then clicking the Move option but the file did not move, and it is still there.

Not to a playlist.  To the root, the level above where you have Audio, Video, Images.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "To the root, the level above where you have Audio, Video, Images".

When I click and drag the Web Media playlist entry and drag it up and outside the Playlists and above the Playing Now and Audio lists, the cursor turns into one of those "Do not enter" signs. There is no place to drop the entry except in the Playlists. The "do not enter" sign remains when I move the entry above the "Playing Now, Audio, Images..." words.

And I just noticed that the Web Media entry is also at the bottom of my Streaming listing.

I'm not aware of a way to remove it currently.  Sorry.

If you uncheck Options/General/Features/Streaming, you can delete the WebMedia playlist and it will stay deleted.  But you lose streaming (Podcasts, Radio Paradise, LastFM, etc.) - but maybe you are fine with that. When you turn Streaming back on, the WebMedia playlist comes back.

This seems like a bug. WebMedia view already exists under the Streaming group header, and then it is duplicated under Playlists. This redundancy has to be unintentional - surely one instance suffices.

Thank you HPBEME. That did the trick.  :) I don't use Streaming at all.
