Plexamp: Ratings for downloaded songs are not synced to server

Hi all,

I’m not sure if this is a bug or missing a small piece of functionality that was overlooked.

For context: from the Plexamp blog:

We built Plexamp v3 to handle this range of scenarios with the powerful offline functionality, aggressive track pre-caching, and by saving playbacks and ratings during intermittent connectivity until they can be sent to the server.

So from my understanding and testing I believe this is only works when starting a session while connected to the server.

But if I start a listening session from a downloaded playlist (with or without a connection to the PMS) rating songs are not synchronised.

On the player I can rate a downloaded song and when I do a search for the same device on the same player. The rating is not applied. When I go back to the downloaded playlist, the songs rating is still there.

Seems to me that the downloaded playlists are kept separate/independent from the library.

I’ve done what I would consider a significant amount of tests. Windows PMS, Android Plexamp, Linux Plexamp, Windows Plexamp and numerous different synchronising workflows and server connection workflows.

Ideally, I would be able to press play on a downloaded playlist and rate a song, if the device is not connected to the server, it will update the rating upon next connection.

Thanks for the report! It was a silly bug, might not make it into the next release (which is in progress), but definitely the next.

Awesome! Glad to hear it! :smiley:

Thanks @elan. Will this fix include syncing play history from mobile devices? I seem to only be able to see the play history of my music that occurred when I was on WiFi and attached to the server. I’ve restricted my phone from use of cellular data, relying on downloaded songs and the caching of tracks, but I’d love those ratings and play history to sync to the server when I’m back on WiFi and it can contact the server. I’m relying on the ratings to build my own dynamic playlists, and if I listen to a bunch of things on my phone and no history or stars get synced with the server, then all my rankings have been a bit for naught.

Yeah, play history should be synced as well.
