LMS now seems to see some folders as playlists

[LaszloFolgerts]

Hi, I hope this is the right area for posting this.

I have my music stored on a NAS and use piCorePlayer with Squeezelite and LMS for playback and use the Squeezer app on my android phone as a remote.

While I was using the Squeezer app to go back and forth through the folders on my NAS to try out different albums to test out my new DAC, I was suddenly unable to open a folder that I was perfectly able to open just moments before. It is a folder containing several other folders, each folder containing a separate album with individual tracks. Instead of just opening the (artist) folder to reveal the separate (album) folders inside (so I can select the one I want), LMS now creates a playlist containing all the tracks in all the album folders that are inside the main artist folder and starts playing it. Thus, I can't go into the artist folder anymore and select an album folder, as I was able to do just moments before. I now have several folders that exhibit this behavior. All of them are folders I had browsed through just moments before. When I went and looked in the LMS web gui browser, I saw that exactly the folders that exhibit this behavior have had their folder icon replaced with the icon of a music note. (I suppose LMS now sees these folders as playlists?)



These folders themselves are perfectly accessible from outside LMS btw, like through windows explorer.

I remember, while playing an album, in Squeezer, tapping the playlist icon bottom right and then tapping the "delete playlist" icon left of the search icon (I was exploring the app's functionality) and that after that, LMS now seems to see that folder as a playlist instead of a folder.

Sorry for the somewhat confusing story and maybe this is something incredibly benign, but I really hope someone can help me in having LMS see these folders as folders again instead of playlists.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers.

But that picture doesn't look like the Squeezer app, it looks more like Material.

EDIT: Sorry, I now see that your picture is from the LMS web gui.

You may get more and better response if you post this in the Material thread, it has little to do with LINUX/Unix.

I don't think it's got anything to do with Material Skin; when I revert back to the default LMS skin, this is what it shows me when I click on a folder:

Instead of showing the two folders inside I get this:

Ok I created a new post in the 3rd party section, mods can close or remove this one if necessary.

Would a scan succeed scanning those folders? Could there be a
permissions problem?

And as always: anything in server.log or scanner.log?

I'm too new to piCorePlayer to be able to answer those questions.

In the end I removed LMS from picoreplayer, deleted its cache and then re-installed it. The folders that weren't, seem to be accessible again, so all seems to be normal again.

How do you navigate your music collection? Are you selecting folders then tracks through the Music Folder view, or browsing via the music files' tags as presented after a scan (e.g. the Albums view)?
