An empty category can mean the selected group has no current entries, a filter is hiding them, or the player has not completed its import. Start by comparing another group and reviewing active filters. If the whole account is empty, investigate the playlist source and account state. Keep the diagnosis specific: an empty group, empty search result and failed account import are different observations.
Why it matters
A blank category can reflect a filter or loading state even when sign-in succeeded. Establishing whether the full list loads, another group works or processing finishes helps distinguish local presentation from incomplete source data or an account issue requiring provider review on the selected profile.
Work through the steps
- Clear the current search and switch to an ordinary unfiltered group, noting whether other categories contain entries in the same saved account.
- Review any favourite-only, hidden-group or parental-filter view that could exclude the selected category, without changing restrictions you intentionally use.
- If the account remains empty after a completed refresh, report the group names and import result privately rather than repeatedly importing duplicate copies.
What to avoid
Creating new accounts because one filtered group is empty can hide the original symptom. Return to an unfiltered view first and distinguish absent data from a display state that excludes entries which remain available elsewhere in the same source.
The useful takeaway
Compare the full list, selected category and active filters before changing account data. Record which views stay empty and whether loading finishes so support receives a precise description of the failure.
