syncing pod casts doesn't sync older unplayed episodes

[pdemaio]

I have MM (4.0.5.1489) set to sync the 5 most recent unplayed episodes. Instead it's only syncing the unplayed of the 5 most recent. So previous epsiodes aren't downloading if there have been 5 episodes since, regardless of how many unplayed episodes there are. This is a change of behavior and is preventing me from catching up on my podcasts

To understand if you have (newest first)

Episode 1 (not played)
Episode 2 (not played)
Episode 3 (played)
Episode 4 (not played)
Episode 5 (not played)
Episode 6 (not played)

Episode 6 fails to sync?

I kind of would expect this as 5 most recent only covers first five episodes. unplayed doesn't affect what 5 most recent means.

I can see why you might think that, but that's not how it used to work and would be pretty lame compared to the old behavior where you could listen to previous episodes of a podcast (which I would do pretty regularly). By the way, even if you delete episode 3, episode 6 still does not downloaded.

Please help. Labor Day Weekend travel is going to be lame with no podcasts

Thanks,

I think I may have found the reason. I will report back.

You can always manually sync episodes or increase the amount of recent Podcasts to be synced if you're in a pinch.

Media Monkey was silently failing to find the actual tracks on disk to sync. Since there was no visual cue, I assumed the issue was with syncing. Everything is now working as expected.
