ParticipantWhich version of firefly ?
Are you using smart playlists ?
If so, check through the web interface if any of them have a 0 count for the number of items.

InactiveHi Sonichouse
thanks for the reply, version of Firefly is shown in prefs as svn-1359
I just use playlists from itunes, a couple of the smart playlists are empty so I have deleted them to see if that makes a difference and have restarted Firefly, but am still getting error;

ParticipantYou might want to bump up the debuglevel to 9 and then do a scan, that should identify the culprit playlist 😉

InactiveThanks guys, looks like it doesn’t like playlists with a fullstop in the name, have renamed and all seems ok again.
cheers
