I have 25 playlists, but only 12 of them are displayed on either the Media Browser or my Samsung TV. They are all .wpl files with the same format. Any ideas?

I just did a force refresh in Serviio console and the attached is still not showing up in the playlists. Had to do it as a .zip file since the BB complained that the .wpl could be an attack.

I tried saving the playlist as a .m3u playlist, then did another force refresh. Now it shows up. Is there a problem using .wpl playlists?

Good news! To force an overwrite, I did a "save playlist AS" in WMP to the existing .wpl file for each playlist that was missing and now all the playlists show up via Serviio. I hope this helps anybody who might be having the same problem.
Still would like to know what it didn't like about the original .wpl files

I did the compare. The GUID metatag was in the bad .wpl, but I tried removing that line and it still didn't work.

The original file was saved with unsupported BOM bytes at the beginning of the file. I have now fixed that for 1.4.1.

I see that now that I ran a 'dump' of the file. I wonder where that came from.
Thanks for the follow-up!
