Love XBMC, but there's one annoying issue that prevents it from being my music player of choice:

If I listen to my music in Party Mode, I only get songs from the first third or so of my (rather big) music database.

If I limit the party mode playlist to e.g. artistst that start with "S", then that works, so the songs are all in the db, but are just never selected in normal party mode.

I have no excuse for this poorly documented error report as I have a software QA background...

Problem exists on 3 different installations with both Vista & Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit versions), and various versions of XBMC.

Do you have 59576 songs in your database? If so, you are correct - it won't be grabbing all of them, but it'll grab from the first 32767.

This is pretty easy to fix I think - we should be using an order clause in the database instead of outside it using rand(). Do you happen to be up for looking into a patch? I'm happy to provide pointers.

Either way it would be good to open a ticket. Reason is it's using rand() which is only random up to 2^15. Please cc me.

Cheers,
