My Question or Issue

With version 1.0.88.353.g15c26ea1 I have lost the ability to shuffle playlists that are part of a folder, structured like this:

 

Favorites (Folder) -> 2018 (folder) -> playlists. I can shuffle the 2018 folder just fine, but not the favorites folder.

 

If I make a folder inside favorites and put all my playlists there, it works. However, when I move all the playlists to just favorites, the screen stays blank.

I have that problem too, came with the last update

The main folder doesn't show the subfolders on the main screan of the dektop BUT you can still shuffle everything.

 

Here how it goes with example of my folders :

My main folder is : SUMMER when I click on it nothing is showing on the main screen.

My subfolders :

1 - HAPPY POPPY SUMMER : 4 playlists / if I click on the folder name, it shows 4 playlists on the main screen.

2 - HAPPY OLDIES FOR SUMMER : 3 playlists / If I click on the folder name, it shows 3 playlists on the main screen.

3 - BLUES SONGS FOR SUMMER : 1 playlist / If I click on the folder name, it shows 1 playlist on main screen

 

How to play shuffle :

 1 - first of all : turn shuffle ON

 

- To play shuffle the main folder (for me SUMMER) : I Double-click the name of the main folder SUMMER in the library. (It will shuffle all the playlists in the 3 subfolders). So 8 playlists are playing in shuffle mode. (you can check the queue and you will see the shuffle is well made).

Note : nothing will show on the main screen.

 

- To play shuffle each subfolder : just to double-click each subfolder name.

Note : all the playlists in each subfolders will be visible and clickable on main screen (as images).

 

- If you want play in order the whole main folder : just turn OFF shuffle before double-click the name of the main folder.

 

Don't hesitate to ask for more informations.

 

I hope that will help 🙂

@Soundofus

Thanks, that will help as a workaround. However, i hope that will be fixed soon.

@wingshq

 

Yes, it will surely be fixed.

 

But anyway, visible or not, the process to correcty shuffle the main folder, is always the same 🙂

I always shuffled by pressing play on the main screen when the main folder is opened
