Roku Playlists - JCJelly - 2023-12-01
Sorry for the duplicate question. I asked this on the main support channel but haven't gotten any response, so I thought I'd try here.
I've just set up a Jellyfin server and so far it's great. The only issue/concern I have regards accessing playlists via the Roku app: I can't seem to figure out how to find the playlists and use them.
I've searched for an answer, and I've seen some posts about re-ordering shuffled songs on the Roku app, but nothing about missing playlist functionality.
Does the Roku app have playlist functionality, and if so, how do I access it?
Server:
Version: 10.8.12
Operating System: Linux
Architecture: Arm64
Roku App:
Version: 1.6.6 (edit: I verified that it is version 1.6.6)

Thanks,
John

Are you using a different user for your Roku client?

It sounds like you are running into a server bug regarding playlists and permissions. Like @TheDreadPirate said, if you create the playlist with the same user that you are using on your roku, it should work.
See this issue for more information: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-roku/issues/1318#issuecomment-1612130175

It works! Thanks so much. You all rock!!
The playlists are created by MusicBee and picked up by Jellyfin. I just have to sign in as the administrator account, which isn't the best, but since it's on a private network it shouldn't be a big deal.
Jellyfin is great. I can get rid of the crummy DLNA player on Roku and have a real player interface. Thank you all so much for your work!
