iOS 14.3 slows down search -- fixed in iOS 15

Installed iOS 14.3, now "Load list" takes ten times as long as before.

The problem is caused by some new bug in iOS:

[SDKPlayback] SYNC-WATCHDOG-1: Attempting to wake up the remote process

[SDKPlayback] SYNC-WATCHDOG-2: Tearing down connection



UPDATE: With iOS 15 the problem is gone.

Save result list from SmartPlaylist as normal playlist

Yes, finally, after ten years, I have found out how to save the result list from SmartPlaylist as a normal (non-smart) playlist in Music. There, you can rename it, play it, reorder titles, edit it, sync it, delete it.

You will get this feature with v13.2, in the list view options (upper right corner).

Each time you tap "Save as Music playlist" a new playlist is created with the (same) name (e.g.) "SmartPlaylist X - Name of your list" and description "Created: date/time".

Broken by iOS 13.4

UPDATE: Fixed with SmartPlaylist v13.1.3.

Dear SmartPlaylist users

iOS 13.4 breaks the mechanism for loading a new list (back to Problems continue with iOS 11.4 ...).

I will try to find a solution.
