Thanks! I'm glad that has helped. About your remaining issue, I have experienced the same thing sometimes. I THINK it has usually happened if I try to add random play to the existing current playlist. In other words, I click the plus sign on Random Songs rather than the play icon; ten tracks are added to the end of playlist, but nothing else is added after they play. If instead I click on the play icon, it replaces the current playlist with ten tracks and continues to add more tracks as those are played. As to why it happens, I don't know. Possibly LMS somehow thinks a different random mix is still playing. Stopping play or clearing the playlist might make a difference. (But of course, when you add tracks to the current playlist, clearing the playlist is exactly what you don't want to do.) Sorry, I don't have a definite answer for you. All I can tell you is that it usually doesn't happen for me. Maybe you can determine what causes this glitch to occur. LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players, occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobbH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114355 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
