SMPlayer Support Forum

Previous versions allowed random playing order, where playlist was not specifically shuffled, but files played at random.
Now all I can do is press die button to shuffle playlist items, but every time I load the playlist, it's ordered again.
So to watch/listen to files in random order now I have to press shuffle button every time I load the same playlist. It's tiresome.

Yes, this has to be fixed.

You have to sort the playlist after the shuffle order column to make it work.
The old shuffle function was IMHO still better.

I agree with the others. I have a Directory that I'm constantly moving files in and out of. I like to be able to select that directory and have the files played at random. Until the most recent update, this was easy. The current method requires unnecessary steps.

This should be fixed in svn r9432.
