Unable to Add Games to Existing Playlist in BigBox

[FordPrefect]

I have a favorites playlist that i initially created in BigBox. After checking the playlist to see there were games in it (10 total at first), I found that when I navigate back into a game and tell BigBox to add the game to this playlist, it never shows up.

However, I have been able to add additional games to this playlist via LaunchBox and they do show up in BigBox.

Are there any known issues with adding to an existing playlist in BB or any logs to look at to troubleshoot this?

I'm currently seeing this on 2 different systems - my current BB setup and a new ( not really new, just better ? ) setup that I hope will be replacing it this week.

 

TIA

It is likely not refreshing the playlist after you add it in BigBox. I know this happened before and was something I had mentioned once before. When adding to a playlist in BigBox you would have to restart BigBox for it to show up. Been a while since I have added games to a playlist in BigBox so looks like the same issue. I am not sure if it was ever fixed.

Thanks for the feedback. I could've sworn I had checked following a restart of BigBox, but maybe not.

I just ran through it again by adding 2 more games to the playlist and saw they were in the playlist after closing and restarting the program.

There's a couple of odd behaviors with this aside from just that the games are not in the playlist. The other is that I enter via "All Games", but when I begin to exit back out of the game menus, BigBox thinks I'm inn my playlist.

Not sure if this is something the devs would like to look at, would be happy to help. Good news is it does look like it works, just not as expected.

Can you elaborate a little here please? Are you confusing playlists with something else?
