Description Martux 2011-12-02 17:50:24 UTC

Version:           2.4.90 (2.5 beta) (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

After updating amarok, all my saved playlists (xspf) are shown twice in the saved playlist sidebar.
Additionally all names are gone. E.g. playlists are shown without names.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-wipe all amarok files in $HOME/.kde4/share/config/ and $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok
-start without letting collectionscanner run (collection left blank)
-close amarok, copy over "old" xspf-playlists generated with amarok or clementine into $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/playlists
start amarok again

Actual Results:  
as described above, playlists empty-named, shown twice.
Scanning collection has no influence.
In the overwiew tab "playlists on hd" only 9 playlists are shown as it would be correct, still 18 ones are listed.

Expected Results:  
Properly import all playlists under $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/playlists with the names properly displayed.

none i think

Ohhh, EDIT:
Deleting one of those duplicate files also erases both entries and additionally the according file from disc!

Is it possible those playlist files (a copy) are also in the collection folder(s)? Collection scanner automatically imports those.

You are not supposed to copy them to $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/playlists manually, it's where amarok saves the file when you press the "save to playlist file" button.

That is a real bug. It's caused by doing a lookup using the playlist name. But AFAIKT it should only delete the first duplicate.

I don't see any empty playlist names.

Comment 6 Martux 2011-12-03 09:27:35 UTC

Oops you are right. I already named the files on that screenshot. 
Well, I want Amarok to display MY playlists in the sidebar, so copying them to $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/playlists worked for me. In my case it is even a symlink to another directory. This directory is residing under /home/user/mp3/playlists while my collection lives under /home/user/mp3/all, /home/user/mp3/mixed and so on. So I guess the answer to your question is no. 
I tried to just copy all the playlists to $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/playlists, because maybe the symlinking would be problematic, but no change.

Is this still valid with Amarok 2.5?

Comment 8 Martux 2012-02-26 18:02:29 UTC

Yes, still here with 2.5 and KDE-4.8.0

Comment 9 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-02-27 14:07:00 UTC

Thank you for the feedback.

Comment 10 Matěj Laitl 2012-05-05 14:59:42 UTC

Should be resolved with current development version, plase reopen if not. (you may want to wait till Amarok 2.6)
