Playlist problem

--- Quote from: marko on May 31, 2024, 07:23:59 am ---Even with authentication, changing playlists on any client connected to the server is likely to cause problems. I think I have some pages bookmarked regarding this issue but am not at my PC just now. IIRC, the "playlist id" gets messed up when the client syncs back to the server which causes much weirdness...

For context, the only changes I make thru the server are on my iPad by manually adding songs to certain playlists (such as "-Cover", "-Genre", "-Title", etc.) so that I know what changes need to be made when I get home. I'm a delivery driver and add the songs that need to be fixed to these certain playlists in between deliveries. I probably add around 50 songs to these playlists in a given day.

It should also be noted that I see a lot of these crashes happen while I'm on my computer going through a smart playlist of mine in MC32 called "1s" which is basically a playlist of 1 star songs that I have to go through before they can be permanently deleted from my library.

This is likely the source of your problem. If the JRemote/iPad is connecting in read-only mode then any changes will NOT be saved on the server, so they will be lost when you restart the app (crash or no crash). You should set a username+password for the read-only mode, and a different username+password for the normal Authentication on the server. Then reconnect your JRemote/iPad, it should ask for the user/pass (you may need to remove the library and add it again). Use the non-readonly credentials. After doing this you can set the read-only auth back to "everyone", as the clients will now remember to use the last authentication credentials you gave them.

I just want to be able to make changes to my library while on-the-go and I don't need read-only authentication. Can I just simplify things by disabling read-only authentication and still be able to make changes on-the-go using authentication?
zybex:
Yes, that should work.
As Marko said above, there are some known issues when editing smartlists on remote clients, but just adding files to normal playlists is usually not a problem.
