Playlist synchronization does not download automatically

[LizardWizardGB]

Describe the current behavior

You can setup synchronization just fine and it will download the videos in the playlist. However, if you afterwards add more videos, it will not download them automatically. You will have to manually click "Fully synchronize the channel" before it downloads the newly added videos.

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup sync with a YouTube playlist
2. Add more videos to the playlist on YouTube
3. It does not download the new videos.

Describe the expected behavior

It should automatically download new videos, when they are added to the playlist. Just like when you setup channel sync.

Hi,

Can you enable server debug logs and paste them when the sync process is running? (you can use channel-synchronization tag)

I can see it ran not so long ago:
`info[29/01/2025, 16.05.13] Fetched 8 candidate URLs for sync channel ytlpaylist.

{
"targetUrls": [
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCMjygG37-",
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QkUnFL5Ca",

],

}`

Does PeerTube check for new videos on a playlist differently from a YT channel?

[LizardWizardGB]

I've justed added more videos to the playlist and I'll keep an eye out in the log. Last time, I waited almost 12 hours, before I manually initiated the sync.

[LizardWizardGB]

It seems the issue is that it only fetches the 10 first videos on the playlist, every time it runs a sync.

For every sync in the log, it's the same 10 YouTube URLs it fetches.

Please enable debug logs and paste logs before and after "Fetched 8 candidate URLs for sync channel ytlpaylist."

How do I do this?
