Does not empty emptied playlist on sync [#20061]

[rusty]

Hi Gordol,

I can't replicate the behavior you're describing (I tested both with regular and auto-playlists). If a playlist in MMW is empty then sync operations always either delete the playlist in MMA (bug 18526) or empty it.

Any idea what may be different about this particular playlist/config? Or is this never working for you?

It has never worked for me with MMW5 on the desktop. There is probably ticket history from me about this on the support site.

Now on b1097. Issue persists. Smart Playlist that is empty in MMW has one track in MMA.

I don't know if it's a bug or as designed but if I have a playlist on my PC that is empty it gets deleted on my phone.

For some people it's probably not an issue but I number my playlists so they appear in specific order on my phone (eg. '01 Playlist', '02 Playlist' etc) and a couple of them are smart playlists which often end up with nothing in them.

To complicate things further I use a plugin for Tasker on my phone called Autoinput which carries out a sequence based on pressing menus on screen. If the playlist sequence goes out of order, Autoinput selects the wrong playlist.

So this is probably a very unique use-case but is there a way to make all playlists sync over to my phone, even if it's empty?

Hi,

It's on our todo list for WiFi sync for MMA 2.0.1. Details at:
