| Summary | 0016644: Changing playlist settings --> sync initiates by itself | ||||
| Description | If the user changes the auto-playlist settings for an Auto-Playlist that is on a sync-target's autosync list --> auto-sync operation initiates by itself! This occurs consistently as follows: 1 Set a local folder as a sync target 2 Add an autoplaylist with 50 'random tracks' to the auto-sync list 3 Enable the autoconversion rule to convert tracks > 256mbps (probably not relevant) 4 Initiate sync --> successful sync operation 5 Edit the autoplaylist attributes (change the number of tracks) 6 Go back to the Device profile --> sync starts by itself!! https://www.screencast.com/t/DhQt667MEykZ tested in build 2251 | ||||

This is actually a feature. Whenever a playlist is changed in MM5 and is on sync-list of connected storages then it is auto synced. i.e. the step of going to the sync settings is not needed, the sync starts in 10 seconds after the playlist edit |

OK, that works. The UI just needs some indication of that. Possibilities: 1) Add the 'Sync schedule:' configuration that's used for e.g. GPM 2) Add a 'Sync schedule' indicator (no configuration) e.g. Sync schedule: Automatic |
|

To clarify: This feature was added mainly because of always connected storages/services like MMS. e.g. in case of MMS also whenever a track is added to MM5 library then it is automatically auto-synced to MMS (without a need for manual initiating). For not always connected storages (like USB devices) the sync schedule does not make much sense as user mostly disconnects the device after the USB sync. There are other options (like [x] Sync as soon as the device is connected). So to prevent from confusion we could just revert the feature for USB connected devices and leave it just for cloud based services and MMS. As for the 'Local storage (folder)' sync: this was initially added only as sample script how to add new sync handler, and it is also used by users as replacement for the old MM4 d_USBMass.dll plugin. i.e. I saw users on the forum using the 'Local storage (folder)' for USB connected drives/devices. That said we could rather revert the feature of auto-sync after playlist edit (rather than adding "Sync schedule") for 5.0 (in order to not complicate things further) |

Fixed in 2252. i.e. auto-sync after playlist modifications is initiated only for cloud based services (and MMS) now. |

Re-verify in 2255 in case this is related to 0016682. |
