Currently, MC will allow remote users to create and add to existing playlists, but not delete. (MC,JRemote,Gizmo)

Even worse, the UI appears to permit this and does not inform users that their changes are not saved.

Please allow this function, if not by default then by an option under 'Media Network'

Set up authentication on the server.

Thank you for the reply, but authentication is already setup on my server.

Edit: Alrighty - if anyone else runs into this just disable/re enable Authentication. Voila, problem solved.

If you have Client machines connected, you need to "stop" those first, then you can delete your Playlists on the Server.

Don't see that option...aside from killing the media server. Even then, on reconnect wouldn't the changes just sync right back up?

I'd say this behavior seems like a known bug - can't possibly be intentional?

Ah, ty. - so known issue/bug that has been a problem for years apparently.

I pretty much always have someone connected to my MC (kids/wife, handful of select friends)...I noticed this issue before but never payed much attention to it as no one was really using playlists until recently.
