Changes in playlist.xml syntax in unstable 10.9 - pixel24 - 2024-03-15

Hi@all,

I noticed that the 10.9-unstable version uses a slightly different syntax in the playlist.xml file. First, I created a new playlist in the freshly installed 10.9 and compared its structure with a file from 10.8.13. As far as I can see, the section:

Code:
<Shares>
    <Share>
        <UserId>f1438152453a47a8a63d8610adf5eeab</UserId>
        <CanEdit>true</CanEdit>
    </Share>
</Shares>

was replaced by:

Code:
<Shares />

and the owner of the playlist was moved below the genres with:

<OwnerUserId>4bee6xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx36125</OwnerUserId>

This presumably assigns it to the user. However, when I copy a playlist.xml from 10.8.13 and adjust it in this way, 10.9 doesn't display any contents.
The paths to the tracks are absolutely identical, and I created the playlist anew in JF 10.9 (same name) and then copied the playlist.xml into it.

You are not supposed to change these files manually. Manage your playlists via the user interface or the HTTP API.

Does the WebUI or CLI have an option to import? Or what do you mean by 'Manage your playlists via the user interface'?
