Shuffle Playlist Issue

[neildsb]

Really sorry for the trivial issue (google everwhere), how do I shuffle a sonos playlist, I have the following flow, but it always plays the 1st track on the playlist.

Hi. Shuffle is a property of the SONOS-Queue. It works for playlist, albums etc. So you should use the command group.set.queuemode. Full description is in the Wiki:

https://github.com/hklages/node-red-contrib-sonos-plus/wiki/A.1-Universal-Node#groupsetqueuemode

Does it work for you?

wow, thanks for the quick reply, i have just read the doc and found this object, do you have an example pictorial flow you can share, as i am not sure how to inset this into my flow, and do i configure it like this?

[neildsb]

I think, i have figured it out, is this an effect way of using it?

[hklages]

You can use it with an inject node in a separate flow as it is persistant. The only restriction is that the queue must not be empty.

That also works. You can change to shuffle mode in the app or via command. It keeps that setting until you change it.

you're a rock star, thanks!! I have gone with the following -

:-) That also works!
