How To Re-Import An Imported Playlist

Post by Dryst »

I completed a full library import under version 4.1.31.1919. My M3U8 files all appear under Imported Playlists as expected. Unfortunately, I forgot to delete a duplicate set that existed under the root of my main audio library directory. As a result, I have the same playlists duplicated with no way of telling which one is which. I deleted all playlists, removed the duplicates set so that only one unique set of playlists exists under my import locations. Unfortunately, when I run Add/Rescan files to the library, the playlists no longer get added. I deleted all M3U8 files, recreated all of them (which would result in them all being unchanged), attempted to run Add/Rescan again but they still will not get added.

What must I do to have these playlists imported again?

Thanks in advance/

Nevermind -- I figured this out and resolved myself:

Code: Select all

First -- Close MMW4; manually copy the %APPDATA%\Roaming\MediaMonkey\MM.DB as a backup

Second -- download and install: https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/

Finally, launch  DB Browser (SQLite), and execute the following SQL:
DELETE FROM PlaylistSongs WHERE IDPlaylist BETWEEN 19 AND 28

COMMIT

DELETE FROM Playlists WHERE IDPlaylist BETWEEN 19 AND 28

COMMIT
After completing all of the above, Add/Rescan files to the library again adds the playlists to my media library.
