Tried V 7.8 from 7.7.3 but had problem.

[Ikabob]

I wanted to upgrade to v 7.8 from my stable 7.7.3.
7.8 was fine except one problem.
The title-items on all my playlists had disappeared. The saved tracks/channels associated with the playlist were there functionally, but the visible titles were gone. I could play the track/channel, I just had no idea what I was going to play when I touched the blank area. I use ipeng as the remote. It acted this way on ipeng and on the device itself.
So, I went back to 7.7.3 and it's all fine, but I'd like to use the latest 7.8.
Any advice? Thank you.

odd. I'm not seeing that (titles in playlist show up just fine). Was this ONLY for playlists. If you simply selected an album or artist to play from the menu, did the current playlist show titles? Did you do a clear and rescan after installing 7.8 (I think that is automatic). Did you double check your settings in 7.8 (settings > basic settings > title format or settings > interface)

Thanks. I did not do a clear and rescan. I'll try that. I'll also check settings...but I'm not sure what to select for interface.
When I choose from an album all the tracks do show and they do enter accurately in a playlist.

so your interface settings are probably fine then, because when you choose from an album the tracks show up properly. I'd start with a clear and rescan. EDIT: Also, to be clear, are you not seeing the titles in the LMS webGUI, on the player itself, in a remote (ipeng, etc.) or where?

I am not home now so I cannot answer the question about the LMS webGUI but I do know it occurs on the ipeng remote and the device. I'll check the webGUI later. How long should a clear and rescan take(so I know when it's complete)?

it will tell you when its complete (on the webgui). Or do you have LMS set up so you are accessing it from away from home? Anyhow it depends on music library and the server it is running on. Anywere from 3 minutes to 3 days.

What platform are you running LMS on?
How were the playlists created?
Anything in the server.log?

Have you looked in the beta forum for anyone else with the same problem?

[Mnyb]

Did you ever do the complete clear and rescan ?

If so sugesting filing a bug and mention it in the 7.8 beta tread

[Ikabob]

I'm not sure what platform I'm using....how do you find that info?
Yes, I did a clear and scan....no help.
The playlists were created mainly with the ipeng remote by loading up the playlist and naming it and saving it. Almost all with ipeng.
Thanks for the suggestions though. (going back to 7.7.3 is ok by me)

Sorry, "platform" may be the wrong term - it's Monday and my brain is not quite awake yet....
What I meant was what are you running your LMS on? Windows/Mac/Linux ?

Do you have any playlists not created on iPeng?

As Mynb suggested, create a thread over in the beta forum explaining your problem.
Yes it may be simpler for you to go back to 7.7.3, but your problem may help others in the future
