Hi Mark and Everyone,
I just isolated a problem that others might be having that causes the sync to never finish / hang.
It's to do with duplicate playlist names. The plugin warns not to use them but usually it just skips one if it finds it.
Below are some nested playlist hierarchies and the results from my tests. As you can see the duplicate names exist in all of them but only the first one causes MM to never finish syncing due simply to where the playlists sit in the hierarchies.
Here is the setup that causes the sync to hang at some point - no warnings:
Code: Select all
- "Playlist A"
- "Playlist B"
- "Playlist C"
- "Playlist A"
This setup doesn't hang, it simply ignores one of the duplicates
Code: Select all
- "Playlist A"
- "Playlist B"
- "Playlist C"
- "Playlist A"
This setup doesn't hang either, it also ignores one of the duplicates
Code: Select all
- "Playlist A"
- "Playlist B"
- "Playlist C"
- "Playlist A"
While the obvious solution is to simply not use duplicate names, in some cases (especially if you have heaps of nested playlists) it can be hard to realise you have them.
I post this here for anyone else that might run into the same problem or incase Mark might consider adjusting this, or adding a check for duplicate names and popup warning if you do.
Thanks everyone!!!
