Summary0017883: Newly added playlists under shared parent playlist are not automatically shared
Description1) Create a playlist
2) Go to Options > Media Sharing > [MM5 server] > Shared content
and share just this single playlist
3) Add another sub-playlist to the shared parent playlist
=> the sub-playlist isn't automatically shared with its parent
i.e. you need to go to Options > Media Sharing > [MM5 server] > Shared content again and share the new playlist manually

I think that expected case is that once all children playlists are shared with the parent then a new child should be automatically shared too

The desirability depends on the user. For some users this would mean they now have to do the opposite and go and disable any new Playlists. It would be inconsistent with Device Profiles where having Playlists automatically enabled can be really detrimental as they would be Synced if the user isn't aware that they were included in the Sync List.

I'd propose an Option to automatically enable (share/sync) in the appropriate locations (per Media Server/Device Profile) newly created Playlists. This can have a sub-option only for child playlists of already enabled Playlists.
The Options could be enabled by default for Media Sharing (as there is little harm) and disabled for Device Profiles (as there is harm in unneeded syncing).

The Options should work for both use cases and allow users even to have mixed use cases themselves as it's per server/device.

This issue is exactly the same as one explained for syncing in 0017512 but it is regarding DLNA server. MM3, MM4 Auto share any newly added subplaylist to Sync/share list automatically without user interaction.
