Smart playlist not updating

I'll try again with a much older. Mar 28, AM. Jun 12, PM in response to rockmyplimsoul In response to rockmyplimsoul. My Initial thoughts are that it is probably caused by the size of the library. I have nearly k songs in mine :S I did a test with a smaller library and it seemed to update smart playlists.

Jun 12, PM. What ultimately seemed to help me is to reduce the complexity of my library by pruning some smart playlists that I could live without. As I removed them one by one I could see live updating return, slowly at first and then back to a reasonable delay. So for me it seemed as though the complexity was bogging things down. My library is about 30K items, so with a very large library like yours it may take even fewer smart playlists that depend on other playlists, so if you have some of those and can do without at least some, try deleting them to see if live updating returns.

Mar 25, PM in response to rockmyplimsoul In response to rockmyplimsoul Yes, I am finding smart playlists such as latest downloads are not updating live. This is such sloppy software management IMHO; releasing something with such obvious bugs.
