This has been going on for a long time and I never posted about it, but it's particularly annoying.  I have a client open and I import new music onto my server.  The new album shows on my client, so I find it and hit play.  Nothing happens.  Then I look on the server and there's a popup that says "Playback Failed: The database entries for the selected files are missing and invalid."  I can find the same album on the server and play it, which works fine, or I can close the client, reopen and it plays just fine.

Are these files moving in the meantime?

No.  They get saved to a network path, then imported into MC.

I just tried to replicate this with a new recording and logging turned on.  Of course it didn't happen, but then I realized I was playing back to the client in my test.  Normally I sit at my desk and play to a DLNA zone on my server (from my client).  I'll give that a shot again tomorrow because I would say this commonly happens.  It's not a rare occurrence when something goes weird, it's every new album/ recording that I import when the client is open and I try to direct playback from the client to the DLNA zone on the server.

I replicated this at my desk and I think the fact that I'm playing to a server zone may be a cause.  Here's the workflow:

1) Client is up and running on Mac, zone is set to There: rpi01 (a DLNA renderer).
2) New tracks get imported into the server via MCWS calls (not sure this matters, but I'm not using auto-import, I'm using a python script that finds new files and pushing them into MCWS with /Library/Import)
3) I see the new track on the client and hit play so that it should go to There: rpi01.  The client does nothing, on the server I see the "database entries" popup.

Filename on the client looks correct (it's a windows path on the server).  I can find the same file on the server and send it to the DLNA zone without an issue.  I'm happy to provide log files.

I'm still experiencing this and wanted to bump this thread back up.  I've determined that I don't need to restart MC on my client, but instead I can disconnect/ reconnect to the server.
