Can't Update, Add, or Create Playlists in 4.2

I am having problems with Engine DJ and playlists. I am unable to do anything with playlists. I can not edit, update, add or even add tracks to the playlists. This started happening a couple of days after I updated to 4.2.

  • I have uninstalled Engine DJ and reinstalled it.
  • I have restored backup database.
  • I have used different computers.
  • I have used different USB

Have you tried downgrading to 4.1.x with your database backups to see if that resolves the issue? Trying to isolate if 4.2 is specifically the problem.

When you say “Backup” is that the copy of the database that Engine provides or something you’re doing manually? And are you backing up the databases on your USB media as well? That matters too. IIRC Engine doesn’t backup the databases on external media.

I used the Engine DJ Restore. I haven’t tried 4.1, I uninstalled and re-installed 4.2, but still nothing.

I’ve try with the 4.1 and the 4.0, but since I installed the 4.2, the problem is now with the 4.0 and the 4.1 version…

welcome to the community. You likely have a database that could be corrupt or data that needs to be updated manually.

Downgrading to 4.0 from 4.1 (or 4.2) is not recommended.

I’m not familiar with what Engine DJ Restore is. this all sounds like your DB is corrupt.

Sometimes Engine Fails silently, and it’s one of the more frustrating aspects of the software.
