Hi. I use playlists quite a lot on my ipod, and I found rb 2.96
wasn't syncing them on ubuntu 12.04.
To reproduce: after creating a
playlist within RB, right-click on the device, properties, sync. When
Music was checked, it implicitly checked all items under it (including
playlists), but none of my playlists would exist on the ipod after it
was unmounted. The workaround I found was to uncheck Music, then
manually check each playlist. Tedious, but perhaps it's an option for
folks who can't build RB from scratch, and happen to read this report
before the fix is released.
I found that setting persisted in
~/.local/share/rhythmbox/sync/device-*.conf ; when "Music" is checked,
then [music]/enabled is set to true and no playlist is mentioned by
name; otherwise it's set to false & each selected playlist appears by
name. The old code would only sync a playlist if it was explicitly
mentioned; the fix below adds checking if [music]/enabled is true.
Another solution might be to explicitly mention each playlist by name
even if [music]/enabled is set to true, but I suspect what's below is
cleaner.
I checked the source for 2.98; this section of code is
unchanged between 2.96 & 2.98, so I'm guessing the problem exists there
too, but I haven't tested it myself.
