I’ve just been discussing a music shuffle issue with another user. It’s simply that the music queue resets and rebuilds a new queue if it hasn’t been used for some time, or the Plex app resets somehow (this happens quite often). The result is that many songs in a Library remain unplayed because the queue kind of starts over. It’s not that the songs are the same, it shuffles the songs, but it is still leaving many songs unplayed for months or longer. How ever the algorithm chooses the songs for shuffle, it doesn’t seem to care, for instance, that these songs haven’t been played in a year.
We both tried to use the Smart Shuffle feature, but we both agree that the Smart Shuffle feature is worse. It seems to have an affinity for popular music, and after a few months of frustratingly tedious queue deletions of pop music, we both turned it off, and were relieved at the new queues that were built. However, we both have many many songs that are never played.
If the shuffle queue had a memory stored somewhere, so that it begins where it left off last time I was listening (unless I command it to build a new queue), it would eventually play all tracks in the selected Library. Can that be done?
