Max number of playlist viewable in playlist catalog

[ljnett]

I am using a 4th gen ipod and when viewing playlist catalog not all playlists are there. You only can see the first 400 playlists. When viewing playlist folder with file browser, all 674 playlists are there and playable. Is there a playlist catalog limit

Yes, there's a hard-coded limit at 400 there. Would be nice to remove that...

what the bloody hell? Why isnt the playlist catalogue using the file browser?

I'm guessing it doesn't use the file browser proper to show custom actions/context menus.

It does use ft_load to load the list, but then filters the result to only show playlists (the filtered result list is the limit). Temporarily changing the setting to "Playlists only" should work, even if somewhat ugly, and that should avoid the need to filter, and thus have a fixed limit on the number of entries.

it looks like the only reason it uses a custom list is so it can put the most recent playlist at the top. If that is the case then there are better ways to do this (like add a menu item) so it can use the normal file browser

Was this implemented in release 3.7. I have upgraded but still have the 400 playlist limit in playlist catalog.
