Description Richard 2018-04-23 06:37:04 UTC

The sync command is documented to accept:
<playerID> sync <playerindex|playerID>
where playerID can be the MAC address 

In my testing <MAC> sync <MAC> doesn't work
But:
<IP> sync <IP> works OK
<MAC> sync <ID> works OK

sometimes the target <MAC> can be interpreted as <ID> and the wrong sync happens

Perhaps the documents are out of date, and this is as intended ?

This command has not changed in years and is being used all over the place (web UI, player UI, mobile apps). I seriously doubt it's broken. Maybe you can provide some more information about your particular tests? Have you checked server.log for hints about the failure?

Of course now I come to re-test a few weeks later it seems to now work OK!
But I did spend some significant time testing originally and the issue was completely reproducible, confirmed by CLI checks listing the synced devices (or not).  I will try again.
