Hello everyone!
I played a quite big event on last Saturday in a location without any or extremely unstable WiFi. So there was nearly no internet connection at all. Everything worked smooth and i even looked twice at the existing history during the night. All looked fine like always. After the Gig i properly closed Rekordbox and shutdown the MB-Pro. There was no error at all.
The day later on Sunday a Colleague i played back to back asked me for my Playlist to exchange Infos. I was surprised that the History List was there but nearly empty. it looks like the fist 20 tunes were stored but the rest (for sure more than over 100 tunes) where just gone or not there. Thats quite shocking because i need that list and i expected it to be there like every gig since i use Rekordbox (at least since V3).
Is there a known issue i should be aware of or a way to get that quite important history-playlist back?
I am on the lastest release (6.6.5) with a proper creative plan.

We are aware of some users experiencing this issue with 6.6.5. With a couple of them we have found that the database created a "corrupted" backup during use and the history may be able to recover from that.
The most important thing -- don't open rekordbox.
Are you on a Mac or PC?
Thx for the Reply Pulse!
I am on the latest 16" MacBook Pro (biggest M1 Max, 32Gb, 4TB) with Monterey V12.5.1
Of cause i thought everything is fine, so the first opening after that Night was already yesterday when mentioning this Issue. Unfortunately i already reopened RB in Panic yesterday at least two or three Times.
After it seemed sure the Playlist is gone i closed RB again and made a Backup with TimeMachine. Sounds like this was already too late or the wrong strategy.
Yikes, well, that would have tanked the possibility of recovery, sorry.
Can you upgrade to 6.6.6 (released today) and see if the history is logging properly with some test play?
