I have noticed that if you try to change the sync setting on a tv series it actually creates a new sync for that series so the data gets copied twice instead of just updating the existing sync on that series. &nbsp;The same thing happens if you enter the sync settings on the web client.

&nbsp;

It would be great if you edit exist sync orders as well as make sure to over ride existing sync orders instead of duplicating them for the same series. &nbsp;It would also be great to be able to put a sort order as such so sync know which x number of eps to sync out of the z number available. &nbsp;sometimes you will want the latest and other times you will want the earliest ones you have not watched. (Daily shows vs tv series)

&nbsp;

That said this feature rules and is one of the main reasons i got my plexpass. &nbsp;Great job so far!
