Empty playlists when importing everything from rekordbox 6 xml

When doing an "Import Everything" from rekordbox 6, using the xml import, all playlists brought into Mixo are empty.

The tracks appear to all be imported fine, and the playlists were created in Mixo, but none of the playlists have tracks in them. Observing the progress page, it looks like the analysis stage didn't ever start? It appears that the import process is just hanging while not making progress.

If I choose to import just a select set of playlists, then Mixo is able to import them normally.

I looked at the logs and did not see any errors there.

Hey Victor!

I haven't been able to replicate this, so can I just make sure of the following:

- Your install of Rekordbox 6 is on the latest release

- Your install of MIXO is on the latest version (0.39)

Also, when you say Rekordbox 6 XML, was this by exporting from RB6 as XML and then importing via 'Rekordbox 5' in MIXO, or was it simply by importing via 'Rekordox 6'? The former is XML but the latter is directly from the database.

Thanks.

Are all the playlists completely empty or do some have a few tracks? I'm having similar in Traktor, in that the tracks imported but populating the tracks into playlists takes forever.

I've identified the cause of the issue: I am using the new rekordbox 6 cloud sync feature, and there are tracks included in the rekordbox xml export that are not located on the file system (they exist on another synced device). If I only import playlists that have all their songs on the filesystem, then the import functions fine.


The problem is that Mixo stops the whole import process when these missing tracks are encountered, rather than just skipping the missing tracks.


I am using the newest version of Mixo, and Rekordbox 6. I'm using the Rekordbox 5 xml import feature of Mixo.

Hey Victor,


Thanks for this feedback, I will try to replicate this and raise an idea with the team.

If you import directly from RB using RB6 import, does it also have the same issue?

Thanks.
