New Synchronization Feedback
It looks like the old Moviebase Forum is no longer available, so I can’t post to our long previous thread about all the Moviebase version 6 synchronization issues. So I am posting here.
I have great news! After I installed version 6.4.0 yesterday, it looks like synchronization has been fixed. I have made a first pass through a secondary device, and it looks like all parts of synchronization are working. After the installation, the movie history and TV show history caught up quickly. It took longer for the episode history and my updates to personal lists to show up, but this morning, everything is looking good. I will be doing more detailed checking, and if I find any problems, I will start a new thread.
Whatever you did in this release, has made a massive improvement. I know it has been quite a while since we had a new release, so it was probably a big effort, so thank you. You seem to have found the issues and fixed them.

Cris,
Just an update as of version 6.7.1. Synchronization is working much, much better than before. Most updates are reflected on secondary devices fairly quickly. The Sync all data function seems to be working pretty well. The one problem I am still noticing is that for a few shows, syncing of watched episodes is not happening on both my secondary devices. It is pretty clear that the episodes are properly in my database history, because in the cases I have seen the synchronization has happened on one of my backup devices but not the other. Even a sync all data request doesn’t fix it. In a couple of cases I have had to manually mark the episodes watched on the secondary device that didn’t get synced properly.
One other issue I have noticed is that on several shows, after I removed them from one of my personal lists, they later were back in the list. I’m sure I had removed them before. I am not sure if this is a synchronization issue, but it might be.

Thanks for the report! Glad to hear that most issues are fixed!
Let me know if you find a sync issue that I need to fix.

Here are examples of problems that continue to be present with syncing to secondary devices.
I have marked episode 12 of CIA as watched on my primary device. On one secondary device, it looks like this.
Note that it is listed on the Progress screen as Complete, but it shows one episode as unwatched, even though I marked it watched on my primary days before. Even after running a manual sync all data from database, it didn’t change.
On my other secondary device, I had a similar problem with it. I tried to manually mark it as watched there also. Even though it said Saved to History, the listing did not change, no matter how many times I did it.
