deleting old playlists error on save

[taybrynn]

When I try to delete an old (empty) playlist, I can delete it.  But when I click "save playlists" it then always crashes and lost the changes.

So the workaround for now is to retain all playlists forever.

Any workaround for this?

i dont see this problem. but, you should be able to delete playlists in the
xlights_schedule.xml file

here is a sample of that file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xSchedule computer="LILIADEN">
  <schedule schedstart="2013-12-15" schedend="2013-12-15"/>
  <playlists>
    <playlist name="xmas2013" Audio="0" Video="0" xLights="1" MovieMode="0">
      <listitem name="martin.xseq" delay="0"/>
    </playlist>
    <playlist name="xmas2014" Audio="0" Video="0" xLights="1" MovieMode="0">
      <listitem name="martin.xseq" delay="0"/>
    </playlist>
  </playlists>
</xSchedule>


just delete the <playlist> ... </playlist> sections

thanks

To delete the playlist you need to be in that playlists tab and then use the menu to delete it.  There is no need to do a save.

Thanks.   These are 2011 playlists from a much older version of xlights that stuck around ... I'll manually edit to remove them
