### App version Production ### Issue description Hello everyone, I’m currently testing Synfonium on Android (Pixel 8 Pro) and have connected it to my Navidrome server. So far, most things are working fine. However, when I rename a playlist on Navidrome, this change isn’t synchronised with Synfonium. Another Synfonium user from the Navidrome Discord tried this on their system and got the same result. I’d say this is a bug. Best regards ### Device type Phone ### Media provider Navidrome ### Steps to reproduce 1. Create a playlist in Navidrome 2. Connect Synfonium 3. Rename the playlist in Navidrome 4. Synfonium always displays the old name ### I searched existing issues first on ### I understand that logs are mandatory on ### Log upload name / description We were able to reproduce it easily on two different systems. I don’t think a log is necessary 😉 ---

I don’t think a log is necessary 😉 I think lying should not be necessary either and yet here you are … There’s 4 different ways to import playlist so yes the f…g logs are mandatory;) Because something that take you 2 seconds to reproduce would take me 30min maybe more. If all users are like you then all I do is try to reproduce issues without enough details instead of actually fixing issues and improving the app 😉 So I suggest you remove the 😉 and provide the logs, and just pretend that you respect my time and me just a little ;);):)🙂 ---

I enabled debug mode, completely closed the app using Android’s app controls, and then started it again. The “Automatically import playlists” option is enabled in the settings. I uploaded the log through the app ---

You need to sync for the changes to happen. ---

I’ve already run the sync several times. But that was before I enabled debug mode. Should I sync again and upload the log once more? ---

Yes I need logs reproducing the issue. (And the details about what playlist is suppsoed to change name) ---

Started the synchronisation in Sync Manager, uploaded the log. It affects the playlists: 0010: … to 0085: … So there are quite a few. ---

One more thing: I’m currently using the trial version of the app, so I’ve only had it for three days to test it out. I don’t know all the options yet. I’ve just discovered that there’s an ‘Import’ button at the top of the ‘Playlists’ section. When I tap it, I can see the renamed playlists. But no matter what I select (Online | Offline) –\> ‘Import All’, the situation remains the same. Only the old names are displayed. ---

Yeah your server does not return an updated changed timestamp on rename … Will add a special case to force sync the name on name change despite this. ---

It sounds a bit as though Navidrome isn’t sending complete data? Should I report this as a bug to Navidrome? ---

It’s more the usual Subsonic API definition not very clear. Deluan probably only consider the timestamp as the content change and not metadata changes. ---

OK. What happens if I change a playlist from ‘Private’ to ‘Public’ in Navidrome? Will it be synchronised? I’d also like to install the trial version of Symfonium at my wife’s place in the next few days. ---

I don’t know if this has anything to do with the problem. Ten minutes ago, I moved a track from one playlist to another on the server and deleted a test playlist from the server as well. However, neither of these changes has appeared in Synfonium. Do I just need to be more patient, or do I have to sync manually every time? ---

You need to sync unless the playlists are online first and they are updated when opening them if timestamp is updated server side correctly. ---

The “Online” thing is my problem. Where do I set that? When I click “Import” at the top of the playlists, Subsonic says “offline.” I can select “online,” but it doesn’t save. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. But what? I find it interesting that the list in this dialog (under: Offline | Read-only | Online) shows the playlists as they currently are. The deleted test playlist isn’t visible here. ---

You choose at the import time and it’s applied else you change it inside the 3 dots menu. Deleted playlists are not automatically deleted. Symfonium is offline first and will always priorise no data loss. ---

I enabled automatic playlist import under Media Management → Subsonic (see image 1). However, the app still shows “offline” in the import dialog (see image 2). ![picture1](http://support.symfonium.app/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9f2606340872fd0a82a0095fdbf8e05293a6a6e0.jpeg) ![picture2](http://support.symfonium.app/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a71cec9d6f03f0aec7222165287b5af222cecce8.jpeg) ---

It’s all in the docs, but again, the import dialog allows to select the mode when you will manually import the playlist. To change a playlist mode 3 dots menu then the options ---

I have read the manual, and it only confirms that I’m doing everything correctly — it just doesn’t work. In Sync Manager → Subsonic (there is only this one connection) → Synchronize. This shouldn’t even be necessary, as I have already done it several times. During the sync, it correctly counts up the albums, tracks, etc. After that, I go to Manage Media Providers → Subsonic (again, there is only this one) → the three dots → Edit. Here, the “Automatically import playlists” option is enabled. Just to be sure, I tried again: Manage Media Providers → Subsonic → the three dots → Synchronize. Nothing seems to happen here. Finally: Playlists → Import → Subsonic → Online → Import All. (This step shouldn’t even be necessary because of the setting mentioned above.) The result: A playlist that I previously deleted in Navidrome is still there. I honestly don’t know what else I could try. ---
