Hey, anyone know if you can change the quality of an already synced item to a higher quality and not have to delete the synced item then find it again in the library before re-adding/syncing ? Tired this and sync appears to initiate but then stops after doing nothing. Latest PMS on Windows, latest Android client. Thx. ---

Changing the quality setting will not affect existing sync items, this is by design as doing this for a large sync queue would result in a lot of reprocessing. The change will only affect new sync items, if it is a single item being synced you’ll need to create a new sync. ---
