Missing option play random songs after playlist finished

Hi,

Just tried to create a playlist, successfully done.

I want Subsonic to continue choosing random songs after the playlist has finished, but I don't seem to have that option?
Basically I want Subsonic to keep choosing random tracks ad infinitum?

Any pointers grateful.

Iain

You only get that option if you create a random playlist.

Yeah, I saw that post and figured that was where I was going wrong, but I've created a random playlist, saved it, and still no option to play more random songs? What am I missing here?

Cheers

Hmmm.... The built in Sonic Blue theme doesn't have that option

I've tried a few other themes just now, and none of them have that option. I haven't modded any files though..... odd.....

Very strange!!! :roll:
I changed my theme to Sonic blue and found that it did not appear for me either.
So I changed back to my default theme and its missing from there too :( WTF
I am glad I took the screen shot otherwise I would have thought I just imagined it :)

Edit It appears if you select jukebox or external player but disappears for web player and external (with playlist) :?

Now that's odd...can anyone surmise why this would be the case?

I can see why it would not appear for external (Playlist) because all the track info is sent to the external player therefore a new playlist is reqd. when tracks are added
While with an external (no playlist) player only a stream is sent so it can be changed on the fly.
But why it does not appear for the web player I cannot imagine :?
Perhaps the developer could enlighten us (not a very subtle hint) :wink:
