clear command can't clear playlist

Did you select the playlist by hitting enter?
I tried to reproduce this, and initially thought that it wasn't working, but once I selected a playlist with enter, cmus-remote -c successfully cleared it.

I can't reproduce this issue either.

I'm going to close this issue since there hasn't been a response for 3 months. Feel free to comment/reopen this with instructions to reproduce the issue.

I am on version 2.8.0 as well and can recreate the problem mentioned by OP.

cmus-remote -P somefile.mp3
cmus-remote -P -c

won't work, because as ghost mentioned in the playlist view the track of the playlist instead of the playlist itself is highlighted.
Neither did my rc file work when I added clear -p as an option, probably for the same reason.

A workaround is:

cmus-remote -P somefile.mp3
cmus-remote -P -C win-next
cmus-remote -P -c
