"Static" random AutoPlayList

Post by Toemmel »

Once a random AutoPlayList is configured, it choices a random sequence correctly.
But with any next request of this playlist it keeps the firstly chosen sequence and doesn't rearrange anymore.

How can I get back the old behaviour of MM4?

Addition: It seems to be a difference whether a) I create a AutoPlayList which selects only by tag attributes (e.g. genre = Pop + rating = 3 stars) or whether b) the AutoPlayList is a combination of several sub-AutoPlayLists. Error appears only in case a).

Are you sorting on an option with Auto-Refresh? That would be needed for this.

I just needed to find the auto-refresh option via Google... :-?

No. It wasn't set.

But why this incompatiblity to MM4? What is your recommendation to an overarching update of an huge autoplaylist collection to the desired behaviour?

Not all users wanted a refreshed list each time, which wasn't an option in MMW4. So in MediaMonkey 5 you can now choose either method.
