About a week or so ago, everytime I shuffle my library of songs, 35000 songs, the same 5 songs always come up first. In random order, but always the same 5 songs. I have no idea why. There is nothing special about these songs. They have no star ratings and their play history isn’t more than any othe…

Oh plexamp is fine, works for me… I hope it doesn’t break because I’d be off this platform then. So if I go to top-level library and push the shuffle button, I get music so I’m happy enough at the moment. I start to get the feeling that I in fact disabled the “radios” when I scanned without “popul…

So disabling “popular” tracks disables the Radio functions, but theoretically improves the “shuffle” so we don’t get our most played tracks over and over again. I was going to disable the Popular Tracks option and start over, because they have no value to me. I don’t like the idea of favorites fir…

not sure how to help, logs logs logs. different thread.

I get what you’re trying to do here from a feature perspective, but I think the execution was off. Leave “Shuffle” alone – it shouldn’t have any disposition. Maybe make a “Smart Shuffle” or something.

@anon18523487 , Is there an easy way to find out what is set to popular other than going through every artist? The reason I ask is that @JuiceWSA ’s process works but rather than redoing my whole library I want to target the ones that I need to plex dance. Also, is there an area in the Plex db wher…

I did the same with one I knew to have it and it did work. What I am wondering is without going through all the artists individually to see the ones with popular track info is there an easy way to list them? I can look through the queue after I shuffle but is that really the complete listing (I sus…

Workarounds always come with the best “features” :stuck_out_tongue: I might do a bit more database-diving but I suspect most likely I will be doing the workaround…thanks for the workaround as it is very helpful :smiley:

No, no, no. It has nothing to do with the popular tracks that are listed for an artist. The new shuffle behavior is based on it’s popularity to you, based on ratings you’ve applied and the play counts.
