lost playlist on rescan after install of latest version

[burundi]

I'm having this same issue.

I am on 7.5.3 on a Windows 2003 server and the SqueezeBox Server process is running under the administrator user.

I have a standard installation with no additional plugins and no itunes support.

I have approx 11000 audio files and SS scanned these and indexed with a few issues but I've been playing them back fine and had created a few playlists.

I've tried converting existing playlists that worked under Twonky to work with SS by modifying the paths within them and gone so far as to using a bulk renaming utility to strip out all dashs from my music collection as research suggested this could be a problem, however I have still not been able to import any existing playlists by doing a rescan.

Further to this the playlists I have created in the WebUI, which I have saved in the configured playlists path of 'd:\music\playlists' are no longer picked up by SS, the scanner.log indicates it sees them but does not import them into the database.

To try and narrow down the issue I have re-installed SS, wiped the cache, set my music base folder to be just one folder out of the collection, so it is now 'd:\music\abba' instead of 'd:\music', now there are only now 19 tracks in my collection according to SS.

I created a playlist containing all these tracks and saved it as a file as well.

The playlists works fine until I try to do any sort of scan and then it disappears from the db. The .m3u file created by SS is still in the playlists folder and the scanner and server logs suggest that the rescan has found the file ok but nothing has been imported into the db.

Unless there are some deeply hidden settings somewhere I fail to see what's going wrong.

The administrator user has full control over the folders involved and there is no av software installed on the server to interfere.

I've just tried the rescan again to get a clean log file:

Looks like similar problem here except I have Itunes support enabled, and Itunes playlist importer is failing. Rather than starting a new thread....

Help.

Running latest build (v7.5.4, r32171) on on Windows xp with latest Itunes 10.2.1.1
