Trouble with Active Playlist maintenance

[Coises]

Something is going wrong with maintenance of Active Playlists in Mezzmo Pro 5.0.5.0. Notice what has happened in the Comedy and Drama folders in these two lists:

There are no non-folder items in Comedy or Drama or in their sub-folders.

After taking those two screenshots, I created a new Active Playlist, by genre 2, with properties identical to by genre:

and Mezzmo built it correctly. So it looks like whatever went wrong happened during maintenance when I added new movies.

I know that the by genre and least recently watched, by genre Active Playlists were created after my database was converted from version 4 to version 5. I know that the first version of Mezzmo 5 I installed was a new installation of 5.0.4.0; after that imported the data base exported from 4.1.3.0 running on a different machine; I upgraded to the first 5.0.5.0 and then repaired with the second 5.0.5.0. I think I created those Active Playlists under 5.0.4.0, but I can’t be certain that I didn’t re-create them after upgrading to one of the 5.0.5.0s. I think they still appeared correctly after at least some additions of movies under 5.0.5.0, but I can’t be certain of that, either.

You can tell Mezzmo to re-process your active playlist as follows:


Right-click on the active playlist in the tree in Mezzmo and click Properties.
On the Active Playlist Properties dialog, click OK to close it. This tells Mezzmo to re-process the sub-active playlists and files.

Hopefully this corrects the problem you are having. Let us know how you go.
