At the moment I have to manually sync each individual offline playlist and I am just looking for a way to make this more efficient.
Library/Playlist section: could we have an option to select multiple playlist to sync with the default option to pull or push any changes to the server of the selected playlists (Plex in my case)?
Problem solved:
Sync multiple offline playlist at once in order to avoid each individual sync of an offline playlist
Brought benefits:
More efficient way to sync a large number of playlists
Other application solutions:
Additional description and context:
in the highlighted areas of the screenshots is where I was wondering if we could have a sync option for multiple playlist?
Aloha, just tossing in my use case and why I also would want this feature. I work in NYC setting up building infrastructures for companies when they change locations. I am underground in the subway for at least 90 minutes a day and beyond that am often in the basement of a building that doesn’t have any network yet. During these times I am usually listening to new tracks and then tossing them in their matching playlist(s). My playlists are vibe based so a song might fit several vibes and be put into several playlists. The result is I often need to sync between 4 and 10 playlists everyday, and admittedly I am fearful of losing progress, so I’ll do this process every time I regain internet access, meaning I might trigger 40+ syncs in a day if I find a lot of good songs.
Online-First playlists do not let you add items to them when offline, making them unusable for my usecase (the transit one I’m sure is shared by other users) . If its not possible to have all the playlists selected together and then sync to their respective media sources in a single push due to possible mismatches, media source, or even call issues, would it be possible to implement this feature by making the app queue multiple individual syncs if multiple playlists are selected and then synced. It would essentially automate the same process I do of tapping on each playlist and manually triggering 10 individual syncs.
Also for some context, I originally came here to request the ability to edit online-first playlists while offline, but I quickly realized that if someone’s device died while offline and they made playlist updates on a different device, they’d lose them once the previously dead device was turned on and resynced the playlist.
(Please pardon the double response, I tried to edit my last response to add this but I believe it’s too late to edit.
Upon thinking about it, I think my example is a bit to centered around me, to clarify my position, there are users who, for whatever reason, are offline often (I just happen to be one of them). Under those very possible circumstances 2 things happen, first; offline mode becomes the only workable option to edit playlists while offline, and second; the ease of use for these users decreases as a result of the first change, (slightly) diminishing user experience.
