Summary0008338: Install missing codec workflow is unusable for sync operations
DescriptionIf the user hasn't installed the codec pack, and has MM Gold (i.e. auto-conversion enabled by default), then the following occurs upon sync of videos:

--> Unable to convert / Download Codec/Cancel dialog appears
1 User presses 'Download Codec'
--> Appropriate web page appears (and MM continues to sync in background)
2 User attempts to install the codec
--> Because the auto-sync operation is continuing in the background, another Unable to convert / Download Codec/Cancel dialog appears.
3 Any attempts to install the codec by D&D it onto MM --> failure
--> step 0-3 continue to repeat...

Suggested fix:
The Download Codec dialog should appear only once per sync operation.

Also, ideally, if the user elects to download the codec, then tracks that require auto-conversion should remain queued until the codec is installed so that they can subsequently be auto-converted.
TagsNo tags attached.

In order to avoid regressions, for 4.0 it should be enough to only show the Download codec dialog only once per sync.

Fixed in build 1428. Download codec dialog will appear only once during synchro operation or mass conversions.
