@frankenpod, any news?

Could you zip your Db as I requested in my post above so that we could shed some light on this?

Hi, that is strange, it should no longer happen with 1751.

Could you share your zipped database?
See this http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... -ini-files if you are not sure where is located your database (MM.DB)

You can open eSupport ticket and share it there if you don't wish to post it here.

I am still having this problem with 1751.

It might be that the fix stops the corruption happening, but if its already happened with the previous version of MM you are still stuck with it still in your database and so still get the ghost playlists synced. I guess I will have to have a look at the sql fix suggested near the top of this thread.


Edit - OK having looked at it, I need more help! How do I open and clean the MM database using libre office Base, say? I suppose I should go back to the 'help' forum to ask...

Edit2 - blast, tried it and it didn't work - still have the phantom playlists being synced!

)) Excellent.

However this situation may arise from any plugin...
so might as well fix it in MM to avoid future hustle in support requests.

Thanks))

... it is fixed. See my post above.

Should be fixed in the 1748 beta build: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 40#p410012

Don't think its a bug. I suppose if mediamonkey is forced to close when an sql command is running, it can leave a table in a mess.

Kinda sounds like a Magic Nodes bug maybe.

Thanks

No need it is a bug and has been reported at http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=12748

Unfortunately it does not.
I just tried it.
The ghost entries are playlists from MagicNodes that have an aggregate function (count(*)) on all nodes e.g. "reggae (210 files)".
When new reggae files are added to the library the number increases and therefore a new entry is created. The old entry is orphaned.
I have 471 orphans at the moment.
I tried maintain library - optimize database (complete) but no cookie.
It has to be done manually in the database.

Is there a program that can run sql code when mediamonkey is started or closed?
Can it be added to "Maintain Library" functionality?

I wonder if File > Maintain Library with complete optimization would have fixed this issue.

To moderator....

Should this be moved to wishlist?
