I use MC10 with MC media server.

I can create a playlist and populate it, but when I exit and restart Media Center the playlist disappears.

I can export a playlist but I can't see any option to import it again.

Can someone explain how this is meant to work?

if you are using MC as a client to another library running as Media Server, you cannot save playlists in the server.  

If you are on the machine running the server, anytime you create a playlist it is kept.

OK. This actually makes playlists useless for us.

Can I suggest to JRiver that a note should be added to the online help explaining this?

Thanks,

To import an exported playlist, simply go to File --> Open Media File and navigate to select the exported Playlist.  I've only tested this with M3U files, but I suspect it would work with other types as well.

It puts the playlist in your Playlists --> Imported Playlists View Scheme (which is created if it doesn't exist).  I don't know if you can do this import from a Client machine (but I bet you can).  If not, you could always just use VNC server on the server machine and run the "Open Media File" remotely.

I've also gotten drag-drop support to work, but it doesn't seem to work reliably (sometimes it seems to work, other times you get the anti symbol).   ?

The standard Tools --> Import Media will work too, so long as you have "Audio Playlists" checked in the media types list (or MPL if you use those types of playlists).

What are you trying to do?  Many times there are other ways of doing things!

I want to create playlists on my own machine while playing music from another machine running Media Server.
