I’d love for there to by sync on the RPi PMP. That’d be a great little traveling media player and I wouldn’t have to worry about hotel Wifi or downgraded streaming quality.
Sorry if this has already been asked. I couldn’t find it through the search. It’s shocking to me that I’d be the first to ask for this.
I use my iPhone, iPod, and my Surface for that purpose. I would not want to carry around a Raspberry Pi.

I use my phone for that too, but since my phone doesn’t output HDMI there is something nice about just being able to plug in a RPi and make full use of the TV screen.
+1 and liked.
That said, in the mean time, the Plex app in the Windows 10 AppStore can sync. If you use Windows 10 / are willing to dual boot, that combined with a Chromecast could give you wireless streaming from synced content to a hotel room television. Assuming you travel with a laptop anyway, the Chromecast is a similar formfactor to the RPi, making it a sort of practical workaround.

Yep, I currently use the Windows 10 Plex app and my laptop and usually just connect it via HDMI and not worry about trying to connect to a Chromecast or any other dongle. But then I need to make sure I have enough space and I sync things before I leave, because I don’t always have too much free space on the PC. If I could simply have a RPi with all my favorites perpetually synced, that’d be ideal.
Does your laptop have a USB port you don’t use much, or an SD card reader? You can attach a really slimline USB storage to your laptop, or leave an SD card in the reader permanently, getting you the same amount of additional storage on your laptop as you’d have on your RPi
(not disputing the usefulness of having this on a RPi instead, just trying to help you get to a useful end solution in the quickest time that doesn’t depend on someone else developing something)
