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.

A mixed playlist is a playlist of mixed media. Movies, shows, audio, etc. all mixed together in a single playlist.

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

Which client were you using? Android? Roku? etc.

I run the server from Mint, play from Roku client. I have a copyparty server set up on that mint sever as well, and we resorted to pulling up the website and having a 80s competition, trying to top the other but not by much so we didn't go to what we thought would be the best song right aways, which we played from our phones so the other could scroll and look. Hers Samsung, mine Motorola, so both android.

Edit: Just checked the Android app for jellyfin. It appears we jumped from jellyfin to copyparty to early, the jellyfin app has the shuffle button.

At least we still made it fun
