To satisfy the original request... Yes, as the OP, I think this is exactly it. Separately from the request Good question, does adding to a playlist which is shuffled mean 1) appending (in a shuffled order), 2) random merging , or 3) appending followed by reshuffling the whole list 4) unshuffle exis...

So what does the "shuffle" button mean? The state (shuffled or not) it displays is sometimes meaningful and sometimes meaningless I can do what you suggest. But it means: ignore the two "play" buttons (bottom and center, and which already have different meanings of "play&quo...

As I see you already tested few things, it would be great if you can create step by step explanation what work and how to fully replicate issue you want us to fix/add? I try! From the outside it is pretty hard to know what the inputs and states are, so I attempt to start from default settings. NOTE...

MM5 5.1.0.2821 Tried these three URLs from https://somafm.com/groovesalad/directstreamlinks.html while using DLNA cast. I only expected the middle (.m3u) one to work.

MM5 5.1.0.2821 Shuffle playlist works correctly. But only if shuffle is selected after the playlist is selected. If shuffle is selected before the playlist, the list is played alphabetically by whatever. Despite the shuffle button showing enabled. Request: Read the state of the shuffle button on pla...

MM5 (5.1.0.2812) maintains the cast player during a power cycle of that player, this is great. However the cast player is reset during a MM5 app stop/start cycle if the cast player is off. This is inconsistent, and significant in the case of starting MM5 on OS start, and a computer power cycle occur...

yes

And half a day later it works.

Must have been some cache issue.

Thanks, close.

Uninstalled MM5, and removed %AppData% directories, rebooted machine.
Installed the develop version (because it fixes some Cast issues)

I get error window, synopsis:

DLNA and the build is the debug one.
I can't tell you the number because of Doc Sol (viewtopic.php?t=105216)

Trying skins, I downloaded the addon Doc Sol
Bad idea.

MM5 puts up coding errors when it starts (even restart in safe mode).
Now I can't change the skin back to a built in one.

Can anybody tell me how to get out of the hole I dug for myself?

When cast to external player, I have a 2 to 5 second gap at the end of a track, before the next track. I tried: 1) Setting " Gap/Overlap to 10s Overlap " , but no change. 2) Setting " Play all audio tracks as a single stream to external players (gaplessly) " get dialog " No ...

updated to 2819

Works much better, but still issues, try FF 4 or 5 times in succession.
The UI and the player get out of sync, and the only way to resync seems to be to exit the app.

Somewhat frustrated by the MM5 Cast experience...

... I notice this works with no issue and no latency: "In Windows File Manager select a set of mp3 , right click -> Show more options -> Cast to Device -> Speakers", which is sad.

Wait....

I still see the error messages occasionally. Have not figured out what other network timeout are not handled
