Rpi-jukebox-rfid: Shuffle is not working properly

[warlok85]

Hi,
first of all, I want to thank you for the great project. I have installed the Phoniebox on a Raspberry 3B+ using the latest master branch 1.19 with the spotify integration.

I just want to test the shuffle function but it does not work. Only when I set the second swipe play pause in the web interface and trigger this function with the ID card the shuffle mode work.
In web interface the shuffle mode is activated all the time.

Any ideas?

great would be to start a random file out of the connected folder each time the card is used on the reader.
But I can't get that to work right now.

After config play/pause the random factor is seen in the playlist

I have the same problem here with the classic version

I'm using 1.1.9 as well. In my opionion mpc shuffle isn't working properly. I added "mpc random on" in the inc.settingsFolderSpecific.sh - work's for me, even if it's a quite ugly fix:

``

if [ $SHUFFLE == "ON" ]
then
    mpc shuffle
    mpc random on
else
    mpc random off
fi

``

I'm having the same issue with 1.2-rc1

Hi, please have a look here: #587
I think that solves it in the newest master branch. There is a bit of a "thinking around corners" because the logic of shuffle and single play clash a bit.
Now single play "only" works progressively if you stick to the same playlist. If you come from another list, it will start from the top.

I'm running 2.0 rc1, but shuffle still doesn't work expected for me.

hey, in develop this seems not to be fixed at the moment (021570699232552e0eb241a89ef6f410f8313e43).

to me this looks like the value of FOLDER not being available throughout all those includes and script calls.
