We were using Jellyfin to watch old episodes of Sherlock Holmes last night, during a break we switched over to playing a few songs I had thrown on there. The interface for movies and shows seems great but my spouse asked me, "why is there a shuffle option for shows?" To which I said idk, maybe if someone watches something like family guy it doesn't matter. But then when we were under my music section, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to use shuffle. It was probably user error, but it seemed strange

Looks like when you're in a "mixed Playlist", whatever that means, the shuffle and loop buttons are removed from the interface of the audio player (AudioPlayerView.bs:148-159). I'm not sure why that is, but it seems like it's deliberate.

Yeah, apparently it's top/center for Android and web based, and not present for Roku. But thank you for that information. The other person who responded made me investigate. So I need to find the person earlier who said they program the Roku one, and suggest shuffle for entire music playlist., also make a donation lol
