Thanks for the positive feedback @
curtis-r, the fix will get into a v19 nightly sometime very soon (but is not in yet or in the imminent Beta2 release, I need to do a little more testing to ensure it doesn't break something else)

If I remove the code, the settings still don't stick after closing & reopening. Should I make this a separate thread somewhere? I don't see these commands in the wiki. Though it appears they were removed, I wonder why the setting doesn't stick after closing.
Code:
<mymusic>
<playlist>
<repeat>true</repeat>
<shuffle>true</shuffle>
</playlist>
</mymusic>
No, I don't think anything like that ever worked or was ever intended to (even if wiki listed them). At least I went back as far as v15.2 and the current playlist shuffle/repeat were not picked up from advancedsettings.xml at all. Generally yes
system settings can be set in advancedsettings.xml and then hidden from the system settings screens, but shuffle/repeat are a little different in how and where they are applied (set on the sideblade when on the current music playlist).
However I did notice that upto and including v18.9, the previous session current playlist shuffle/repeat settings were reapplied on restarting Kodi, but in v19 they are not. So another regression has crept in to the party without an invite, I'll take a look. Let's hope this is more obvious than the last issue, well at least it is more recent.
If this looks like it could become long protracted I'll probably split it into a new thread
