7.4 Starnge Playlist problem???

[mattius]

I am getting duplication of Tracks since I installed 7.4. This is only occuring on my WHS system & NOT on my Windows XP system??
Seems to be a playlist problem. Well it's a weird one. I have excluded m3u, (which is my playlist files extention), in my audio extension section but it still shows some duplication:-

However If I delete my playlists I get the following:-

Weird? Bugs?

Your playlists probably use a different path to the same library than what you've set as your music folder.

can you move all but one of your playlists out of the scan temporarily? - that will make it easier to see exactly what is going on...?

This is only occuring on my Tranquil WHS system & NOT on my Windows XP system even though the music directory is the same on both systems??

aha - probably relates to the way the paths are composed/resolved in the playlists on the whs box...
