Add song to your YouTube playlist 2. Wait up to 15 minutes (or click download button) 3. Check SoundWave - new song should appear ### Manual Check ```bash # View all playlists with their sync status docker exec soundwave python manage.py shell -c " from playlist.models import Playlist for p in Playlist.objects.all(): print(f'{p.title}: {p.downloaded_count}/{p.item_count} - Status: {p.sync_status}') " ``` ### Force Sync Now ```bash # Manually trigger sync for all playlists docker exec soundwave python manage.py shell -c " from task.tasks import download_playlist_task from playlist.models import Playlist for p in Playlist.objects.filter(subscribed=True): print(f'Syncing {p.title}...') result = download_playlist_task(p.id) print(result) " ``` ## Monitoring ### Check Celery Status ```bash docker logs soundwave --tail 50 | grep -i celery ``` ### Check Last Sync Time ```bash docker logs soundwave 2>&1 | grep "sync-subscriptions" | tail -5 ``` ### View Download Queue ```bash docker exec soundwave python manage.py shell -c " from download.models import DownloadQueue pending = DownloadQueue.objects.filter(status='pending').count() downloading = DownloadQueue.objects.filter(status='downloading').count() print(f'Pending: {pending}, Downloading: {downloading}') " ``` ## Security Verified ✅ All playlist endpoints require authentication ✅ Users can only access their own playlists ✅ Admin users have full access ✅ Managed users have read-only access ✅ No route conflicts detected ✅ No security vulnerabilities introduced ## PWA Impact ✅ **Faster Syncs**: New content appears 2x faster (15 min vs 30 min) ✅ **Better Performance**: Downloads complete faster ✅ **Improved UX**: No more "stuck" download indicators ✅ **Offline Access**: Unchanged - all downloaded content works offline ✅ **Mobile Friendly**: Optimized for mobile data usage ## Changes Made 1. **backend/task/tasks.py** - Removed blocking playlist linking from download task - Added async `link_audio_to_playlists` task - Fixed timezone warnings (datetime.now → timezone.now) 2. **backend/config/celery.py** - Increased sync frequency (30 min → 15 min) ## Next Steps (Optional Improvements) 1. **Real-time Sync**: Implement YouTube PubSubHubbub webhooks for instant updates 2. **Smart Scheduling**: Sync more frequently during peak hours 3. **User Notifications**: PWA push notifications when new content is available 4. **Batch Downloads**: Parallel downloads for faster sync ## Support For detailed technical documentation, see: - [PLAYLIST_SYNC_FIX.md](./PLAYLIST_SYNC_FIX.md) - Complete technical breakdown - [PLAYLIST_BROWSING_FEATURE.md](./PLAYLIST_BROWSING_FEATURE.md) - Playlist feature overview ## Troubleshooting ### New Songs Not Appearing 1.
