Summary0012087: Changes to Playlists in the Android Media Store aren't picked up by MMA
DescriptionIf the user creates / edits (re-orders/deletes a track) a playlist in MMA --> it appears as expected in Google Music.

BUT, if a user creates / edits a playlist in Google Music --> MMA doesn't pick up the changes.

Note: I notice the exact same behavior with PlayerPro--Is this fixable?
Additional InformationNote: tested on a Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.3 (no SD card on this device)
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build

So as I said over IM:

Modified time of playlist in MediaStore is not changed. But I think that this was working in previous Android APIs. Unfortunately now we are not able to determine the change. We can compare it item by item but we would not know which version is newer.

MediaStore doesn't even update the m3u file. So checking the file is also not possible.

Deferring this to 1.1.1. Hopefully Android L APIs will resolve this.

It depends more on version of Music Play app than version of Android. So it is still the same. I have some details about it:

1. When playlist is created in MMA, it is synced with MediaStore and MediaStore is synced with MusicPlay app.
2. All changes are now synced from MMA DB -> MediaStore DB -> Music Play DB
3. After any change in playlist in MusicPlay app, the playlist is unpaired with MediaStore DB - I don't know why they do it. But I can see the unpairing in Music Play DB.
4. All changes are synced from MMA DB -> MediaStore DB BUT NOT TO Music Play DB
5. All changes in Media store DB are not synced to Music Play DB
6. Changes from Music Play DB are not synced to MediaStore DB or MMA DB (due to unpairing)

They are probably trying to have separate DB in Music Play that is not related with MediaStore and uses MediaStore only for import.
