plex android app auto streaming/sync features

Been a user of plex for a while now, mostly for TV shows and Movies but also for my tunes. Before I was using plex for my tunes I used Madsonic. There is a feature or two of Madsonic that I believe would be a good fix for Plex also.

Before I get to that I would put out a scenario.

I’m out and about with my phone when I relies I haven’t synced my latest and greatest hits, so I play them directly from the server while i’m out. I start listening to the first track then I hit a poor 4g coverage area and left waiting for the next track.

So my feature request is to add an auto sync a number of tracks from the playlist and to keep them. Plus maybe an auto delete when reaching the sync limit by getting rid of stuff that hasn’t been listened to in a while.

Would also be handy for people with low storage that also wanted to keep data usage to a minimum.

Take a look at this post.


At the stage where the guide says “click on ‘Add to playlist’’” click on ‘Sync’ instead.
You can use a more refined filter ofc.

Now this is better than what I was asking for, guess I need to read up a bit more. I got lost using the smart list via the phone looks like it is a lot easier via web page on laptop. Would be a doddle to setup for family to as rating or making playlist seems too fly way over there heads lol
