The problem

When synchronizing with Apple Music it pulls back a lot of information, but not everything. The main issue I've noticed is that it is only synchronizing 3 out of 10+ Apple Music Playlists. Is there any way to determine what the issue is? In the debug logs I see a lot of "Skipping album", will playlists with skipped albums be not included?

At one point I saw this error, but I think it was possibly because I deleted a playlist during synchronization.

Have the playlists any manually uploaded tracks?

edit: please follow the instructions and attach the full log

It seems to be crashing on a particular playlist, but I'm not sure which one. I renamed one of my playlists from starting with a C to an A and it showed up in Music Assistant. However I can't find a problematic playlist that starts with a B or C. Some of the playlists do have uploaded music yes, but not all of them.

I will get a proper log early tomorrow.

Here is today's log after hitting sync

That isn't the full log. You need to obtain that from the MA settigs. Also we don't want debug on unless asked for. I do see a 500 error which could be due to manually uploaded tracks. I draw your attention to this in the docs:

MA can only play an uploaded track if Apple has linked it to an online version in the Apple Music catalog. If that link is not found, MA will not do the import.

Also I am not sure why you have a lot of lost connection errors to HA?

Here should be the proper log. I'm not 100% sure where I have managed to turn on debug. I don't think the issue is fully my manually uploaded tracks. Like I said I changed a playlist name from Chris (wasn't showing up) to A-Chris, and now it shows up correctly. So something seems to be crashing the playlist loading process.

Yes I saw that in the logs too, any suggestions on what might be going on there?

[OzGav]

I would guess there is a different playlist that is causing the problem. “Chris” is probably fine and now you have moved it up the order it is getting pulled in. Use your plan of adding an A to the start of each and see how many you can get.

I see you are using docker. There must be some network problem causing this. Do you have any weird/complex network setup going on there?

[cstack89]

Sounds good, maybe I'll add B to the ones are working and try a handful of As at a time.

I'm using the Hyper-V VM image from Home assistant and then I added music assistant as an add-on inside home assistant. My overall home network has a few VLANS, but I assume the connection for this should be internal?

[cstack89]

FYI I'm still stuck on both issues. I think I'm going to open a separate issue to track the networking issue?

Regarding Apple Music though, I re-named every playlist I have to start with A, if I do that they all show up in music assistant. However if I change one of them back to start with C it disappears. Additionally, I have deleted all our smart playlists and removed all favorited songs to no avail.

That being said, in the apple music provider init_.py wouldn't it be safer to just check if the dict has a name and if not skip the playlist?
