I have verified that the bug is not already awaiting release

Yes

What was the Problem?

Hello, after may books mysteriously disappeared from my playlists (corrupt database?), I recreated my playlists manually.

They show up without problem in the web version of the app. The debug output is as follows:

2026-01-11 12:14:28.867

DEBUG

[ApiCacheManager] count: 7 size: 551800

2026-01-11 12:14:28.868

However, when I try to display the same playlist in the Android app (version 0.11.0-beta installed through the App Store), no playlists are displayed even after waiting after several minutes. The log is shorter but does not display any obvious error:

2026-01-11 12:16:13.221

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

I don't know what triggered the problem, but now, going to the Playlists in the app

What was Expected?

A display of the list of playlists

Phone Model

Samsung Galaxy 25+

Phone OS

Android 16

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.11.0

Installation Source

Google Play Store

Additional Notes

What I did to try to resolve the problem (to no avail) :

emptying the cache, and even the whole data of the Android app
creating a new user with new playlists (none are still displayed in the app but well in the browser)

Thank you in advance for your help!

If you sign out of the app and sign in again after creating playlists, the tab will then show up. There's a bug where the "show playlist" check only occurs when you first sign in, so if you create the first playlists after signing in on the app, it won't show up.

Thank you very much @nichwall for your quick reply and your help.
I tried to log out / log in but to no avail : the playlist tab exists but is never populated. Similarly, if I click on a book and try to add it to a plalyst, "Loading..." is shown indefinitely in the dialog box supposed to show existing playlists.
I have the same problem with collections : available in the web client, not in the Android app.
BUT: I deleted all collections and recreated just one with one book : then it is displayed correctly in the Android client too.
I also deleted 8 of my 13 playlists, and now the remaining playlists are displayed in the Android client too.
But if I recreate the original 13 playlists, none are displayed in the Android app (but well in the web client).
So I assume there is some kind of threshold applicable to the Android app only which triggers a bug?
Could this be due to a corrupt database, or would it be more a problem in the source code of the Android app?
I cannot be the only user with 13 playlists, so I suppose other users may have faced this bug (but could not find any indication in the open issues)
