| Summary | 0009357: iOS playlist sync problems | ||||
| Description | As reported here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=66119 there can happen a playlist sync problems, the important steps to reproduce is to create the same named playlist beforehand directly in the device and then sync the same named playlist to the device. The result is that in the device are two playlists with the same name and including content of both the playlists (created by MM and created in the device) | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Fixed in build | 1504 | ||||

|
Note that iTunes behaves same way as MediaMonkey in this situation. i.e. if a playlist with same name is already created in device then it sync the playlist created in iTunes as another playlist. The result is having two same named playlists. So the only MediaMonkey bug here seems to be that MM shouldn't merge the content of the same named playlists. |
|
|
Fixed in build 1601. Only one instance of the playlist exists and the content is shared according to 0009373 |
|
|
Merged into 4.0.7.1502 |
|
|
On 1502: 1) Create a Playlist (Thing) on device and then synced a Playlist with same name to the device. The result is that the Playlist in MediaMonkey get's its tracks replaced with the one on the device's Playlist. (not sure if this is intentional) 2) Created 2 Playlists (Stuff) with the same name in MediaMonkey and Auto-Synced those to the device. The result is that the contents of 1 of the Playlists gets replaces with the contents of the other. (this can't be correct) |

You are true that 2) is bug, I fixed it in build 1504. i.e. if more than one playlist with the same name exists on the auto-sync list then playlist content from the device isn't synced back because we don't know which playlist in PC it is. Note that iTunes can handle syncing more same named playlists, but on our side it would involve quite a lot of changes and interface changes in all device plugins. Therefore I wouldn't like to re-work it for 4.0.7 in order to prevent from regressions. |

>> i.e. if more than one playlist with the same name exists on the auto-sync list then playlist content from the device isn't synced back because we don't know which playlist in PC it is. But this exactly what I experienced with 1 Playlist with the same name on PC. In this case 1 Playlist was created on device and 1 on the device. If this is expected I'd suggest considering a confirmation if Playlist on PC should be replaced with Playlist on device (or even better also have option the other way around and to ignore). Note that bug 1 had 1 Playlist on device and 1 on PC whereas bug 2 had 2 on PC and none on the device. |

1) This seems intended thus not tested. 2) Tested and it no longer occurs. |
