Image Playlists Broken with Latest Update?

Hi,
I have a new Panasonic TV. Before the latest update I could create playlists of images, and then use these to view series of images in an order of my choosing. However since the last update to Serviio there's an odd behaviour: I can still see the old playlists, but I can't see any new ones I create. New files of other types (images themselves, videos) are fine and show up as usual, it appears to be specific to playlists.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andrew

detailed log of adding a playlist?

Hi,
I checked today and the playlists are now visible. It looks like there's a delay updating the library, or maybe it needed a server reboot. I will try and understand the behaviour in a bit more detail, then I'll post those details with the log.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi,
I have managed to identify what's happening. I added a new playlist yesterday, but by this morning it was still not visible. I then rebooted the server, and shortly afterwards the playlist was visible.
I found the event related to adding the playlist - it's at the top of the attached log file. It looks like something is locking the playlist file, and Serviio doesn't try again until it's rebooted. Do you have any idea what could be causing this, because I don't have problems with any other type of file?
Thanks
Andrew

I am not sure that the dynamic update is catching changes to the playlists.
Read this post and then created a couple new lists. Image and audio (wpl and m3u). None of the added lists were captured by the updater.
Rather than restarting the server I simply renamed the Playlist files and they were almost immediately reflected in the media.
Perhaps playlist files are treated differently in the updater.
