Hello all
Success, As suggested I deleted the playlists folder, the mymusic72, cleared the library removed the library source and restarted kodi. Ilthe restarted kodi loading the development share and it resulted with 3506 songs. Since this morning I have been adding the deleted artist one by one and passing them through MB. MB saved them in my musicbrainz share i verified them and the moved them to the development share. In kodi I updated the library as i was going along and it registered the songs I added and i reconciled them to a running total.
It matches...no duplicates
IMHO the documentation should spell out that the the playlist should not be in the same folder or share. However, In today's environment as the libraries are getting larger and that many individuals turning to external drives that may be networked and shared and that in a household there may be several devices share these libraries, that many of the userdata contents should be possible to move them to the external / NAS drives so to share the library DB, setting and to some extent configuration of KODI and here one could put the playlists and the thumbnails. Setting things up and configuring them every time we need to re initiate a library scrape for information on each machine take time I personally have 4 devices that run KOdi. I i were to have all my settings on the nas I would not even need to update the library. Kodi would just read the nas library All this could be in advancesettings.
Yes i am simplifying but you surely get the gist
anyhow
thanks to @DaveBlake , @black_eagle and @Karellen for all your great help, guidance, teachings, patience and understanding
