Title: Playing now shuffles after playing the last song
Post by: Marty3d on January 06, 2021, 07:29:33 am

Is this an intended behaviour, that after you play the last song in Playing Now, it shuffles everything before stopping? It's not a biggie and there's probably a setting for it somewhere (where?) but it feels weird :)

Thanks!

No.  Is shuffle on?  Check the little icons in the upper right corner.

Hi Jim, thanks for your reply!
Yes, shuffle is on, it doesn't happen when it's off.

I did some more tests and it's reproducible:
- Add a few songs to playing now
- Turn on shuffle
- Play the last song and skip to near the end
= When the song stops, Playing now shuffles

Thanks!  I can reproduce it.  I'll investigate and follow-up later.

It looks like it's by design.

Here's the code comment:
// shuffle if we just played the last track and we're in shuffle mode

I guess we figure since it's in shuffle, it makes sense to reshuffle after the last track.

I don't have a strong opinion.  Anybody else care to vote?

Thanks.

I think it only makes sense if it is going to continue playing. Shuffling and then Stopping is dumb (and erases the playlist that just played, which I use sometimes to go back and find out what song played that I liked 3 songs ago).

So, I'd say do that, but only if Continuous Mode is also enabled, such that reshuffling will actually, you know, accomplish something.

I don't have a strong opinion either, but:

This I completely agree on, actually what made me react :)

Next build:
Changed: The shuffle at the end of the playlist when shuffle mode is on will only fire if playback is set to advance to the first track again.
