Playlists Database?
« on: June 27, 2020, 04:19:48 am »

From an "all files" view, entering:
Code: [Select]
[=dblocation()]=playlist into the search bar returns around 1600 files imported between 2003 and 2015.

895 of those, a range of audio, video and image, do not appear on any playlist.

Build 26.0.49 had this change:
4. Changed: Files from a playlist import now are imported into the main database (instead of only the playlist database).

Which I think, was related to Dr.Who usage, but I might have that all wrong.

What is the purpose of this database, and what triggers files to be added to it?

I checked and I don't have any files that are in the Playlist database that aren't associated with a Playlist.
But I have lots of files that are in Playlists but aren't in the Playlist database.

Whatever is going on, it could be related to issues like this one: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,125992.0.html

I think I know what the Playlist database is, but it would be nice to get a concise explanation from JRiver, as my thoughts have never been confirmed or corrected when I have shared them.
