PlayerControl(random) toggles the random setting. It would be good to have randomON and randomOFF too ...

I use a a little customization to play mp3 playlist randomly and run pictures slideshow at a press of 1 button.

This is what I do

<onclick>XBMC.PlayMedia(c:\mp3\music.m3u)</onclick>
<onclick>XBMC.SlideShow(recursive,random,D:/pictures)</onclick>
<onclick>XBMC.PlayerControl(random)</onclick>


and music starts randomly also slideshow does.

on first run it is OK but next time i run random music it toggles random off. so i must run action again to go to random.

thank you!

We did away with random years ago in preference for shuffle.

Seems that something has been done here... I tried looking for more details with no luck.
Can I use that now? Or should I wait for new version release? Or how does this changeset process work?
I couldnt find Util.cpp...

Help

thank you,
Marko

you obviously cannot use it unless you updated your build to one including the change... other than that, just use playercontrol(RandomOff) or playercontrol(RandomOn) instead of playercontrol(Random)

thanks... I am googling 10 minutes now and cannot find new builds... (windows).
Ill try to find it otherwise Ill wait for new version. Latest file on SF is from 2009-02-27 , changeset is from 2009-03-05. So I guess there is no new bild yet, am I right?

There are 3rd party builds in the forums somewhere.
