There is a bug if you download music. I could reproduce it on iOS pretty easy: Download a playlist or a radio station If you click on the three dots and select “update…” → nothing happens. It only works if you select one of the downloaded items (a Playlist or a radio like 1970s radio) and select…

That is by design. The top-level refresh is intended to update smart playlists, and fetch missing items. The per-item refresh is a “harder” refresh which recomputes/redownloads entire things. Since it can be destructive, we don’t do that with the top-level refresh.

Then perform a refresh, and post Plexamp logs, otherwise it’s impossible for us to help you.
