Syncing has stopped

woolfhound opened this issue · 5 comments

Hi Simon - I'm experiencing syncing failing regardless of which device I access Play Music/Autoplaylists in. The Sync tab shows "last full sync was XX days ago" (21 as of now!) and a message about when the next sync will take place... however, it does not happen. Initiating the sync manually also does not work. I've verified that it's not syncing via playlists based on add dates (none are updated).

Thanks -
JW

Huh. A few people have reported similar issues, but I haven't been able to find any trends in my monitoring to indicate what the problem might be. Something similar even cleared up on its own for the last person who reached out.

I've got one idea for some more data I can collect. I'll try to release that today. In the meantime, can you try:

I've got a hunch: let's try refreshing your auth token. Can you try navigating manually to chrome://identity-internals? One of the entries in this list should look like this:


Access Token <big long string>
Extension Name | Autoplaylists for Google Music™
Extension Id | blbompphddfibggfmmfcgjjoadebinem
Token Status | Token Present
Expiration Time | <a date in the future>
Scopes | https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chromewebstore.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/skyjam

First, check that all the rows match my example (let me know if any don't). Then, click the "revoke" button beneath the scopes.

Now, open or refresh a Google Music tab and click the extension icon. You should get the same OAuth prompt you saw when initially installing the extension. Authorize it.

Does anything change after going through that?

Excellent! I have no clue why that would have broken - it's supposed to be automatically managed by Chrome - but I'm relieved we figured it out.
