Improve The Algorythm For Tracks Played With Shuffle Activated #1931

Reported by Duncan on 20 May 2013 00:57 UTC I had a friend over the other night and thought I would make a playlist and play the tracks randomly.

The player quickly started to repeat tracks which had already been played. It became quite irritating having to go and skip the track every few minutes, so can this be improved?

Thanks.

Commented by bflorat on 20 May 2013 07:16 UTC Thanks for reporting. I can reproduce this problem. Please detail exact steps in user interface to reproduce your problem.

What I did given your initial description :

Go to Playlist View
Right-click on the playlists list -> play shuffle -> result : the playlist is correctly shuffled

Please detail as well the length of your playlist.
