(Original post has been updated and the ā€œsharingā€ aspect of the original request is handled through the [Share Playlists] request thread. Please go there to vote if you want that feature.)

The ability to sync playlists is part of our new sync technology. That is already available in both the Android and iOS mobile apps. We’ll continue working to bring that to our Windows/Windows Phone app, too.

Beating a dead horse I know, but what the heck… please consider bringing the sync functionality to desktop/media streamers too. Specificaly, I would love to use it on the Nvidia ShieldTV, but I’m sure people on other platforms could also benifit for a variety of reasons, such as syncing files to a device to bring to the cottage with no or very slow internet.

Sounds like another separate feature request will be necessary - definitely something I’d like to see.

There’s already one for desktops that’s very popular… I created one for ShieldTV, though I thought for sure there was already another one but didn’t find it.

+1 shared playlist for Home Users please

This request have a BIG reason to be implemented.

To avoid to have a lot of Libraries. Is a huge work.
For example, I have to make a Drama library, one for the kids, and one for the adults, but the problem goes bigger when the teenagers show up in the house.

If I have for example Sci-fi library, some movies like Alien collection is not for kids, but it is for a teens and adults, plus for some sagas, how a father that I a’m, is very handy can manage who can see X or Y Playlist without have to make more and more libraries.
At the end of the day, this is the reason of the playlists, right?

Thank you

Not really the proper use for playlists. Since you have a Plex Pass, you can use user restrictions. You can either set the restrictions based on the movie rating, or you can create your own labels and restrict your kids/teenagers to those labels.

Yes, I know that but I think that the playlists needs be an option in the shares.

Thank you very much for your advice

I am already happily using the offline playlist, but I am missing two tiny options for the song that is played currently: http://forums.plex.tv/discussion/245035/playlist-more-options-for-song-currently-played

+1 for sync playlist

+1, been keeping an eye out on this request for years

@Dreato / @rhodesjo ~ Where are you looking for this functionality? iOS and Android already has it.

iOS and Android are not the only devices that make the world spin.

That is correct, they generally comprise about 98.4% of the devices which make the world spin. The previous two posts leave zero hints as to what device/app they’re referring it, hence my question.

Understood. In a world where most everything the is a teeter-totter, it is nice to see a third disrupt and help add balance to the chaos. That third should be coming in early 2017.

I like your software, but the ability to sync a playlist on the Windows 10 Mobile platform would be nice, but I am, as many others are, concerned about the stability and the non-functioning ability to play music with Plex on Windows 10 Mobile. Not to side track the conversation here but I feel that this issue needs as much exposure as it can get.

Playback over WiFi on the same network appears to be fine, anything else it is a complete fail. The dev for his platform seems to want top point the blame at Microsoft and to be fair it might be warranted. However, the fact that I have no issue over WiFi on the same network or LTE, Pandora, Emby, and Groove have no issue what so ever regardless, it makes feel that he is missing something.

Which that app would get as part of ā€œsync v2ā€ support. :slight_smile: It’s not been forgotten or ignored, the changes required are simply pretty huge ones.

Yep, the Windows app team is certainly aware of issues and it’s being investigated.

I am aware that this is being investigated, but it has been nearly a month or so with no resolution. I have seen several updates to the code but none of which address this issue, which makes me feel that this core function is not important.

I could care less about UI and feature ā€œblingā€ are as good if the app works. Thus, I cannot enjoy such ā€œblingā€ if my music will not play.

@NVader2000 I’d be pretty happy that they took the time to acknowledge the issue in the first place.

Still haven’t received so much as that for this issue: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/239333/ac3-stereo-issues-with-the-new-mi-box/p1

@NVader2000 It took a year after the request to get the feature in iOS app then another year for it to make it to Android app, so… I doubt it’ll be available any time soon. Like @Xen0sys stated, that response was very quick compared to when people started complaining about Android app. It took many many months for someone to even acknowledge that something is being done about it.

You are telling me that it took a year to resolve playback issues? Great!

No, playlist sync.
