Playlist Management

I do not know how this is possible.

I opened an existing playlist and select the 3 dots to add it to a new playlist "name1" and and it saved it to my path " /media/app/jellyfin/data/playlists and now i had 21 playlists in this folder and 21 playlist names in the jellyfin dashboard ("name and name1").

However in the add playlist dropbox i now had 8

I looked ad the playlist "name" and "name1" in wordpad and in fact i do see that the "name"playulist has 00000000000 as owner and the name1 playlist has xxxxxxxxxxxxxx in that field.

I could copy the owner id from "name1" to "name". This is too cumbersome using the process i use above is less prone to errors

Then in the /media/app/jellyfin/data/playlists delete all the old playlists ("name") and the rename the new playlists from "name1" to name. this works

However jellyfin must have a reason why they tag the playlist to an owner (i do not see it)

I honestly believe that this playlists functionality should be an option for the user if they need to segregate the access of the playlists this restriction should be implemented manually.

I v=can see the segregation of the playlists done by the web app (for general use) and by the player to limit the playlist to that player or group of players

Thank you for you input and the time you took to investigate and test this issue

Be well
