Dear team, I have selected 18 artists of my collection and triggered a Play Mix. Only 2 or 3 of them are played, one artists being played very often. While in this artists selection screen each time I run Play Mix , it’s always the same 2 or 3 artists that are selected, with always the same “pre…

[image] mbolo01: Depeche Mode tracks are occupying the full space Not quite :sweat_smile: But they are probably occupying proportional space to the number of DM tracks you have vs other artists in there? (We are working on some improvements to shuffling, but in general, the overall mix of ar…

… “Most” of the full space I should have written :upside_down_face: I did count the number of albums of each artists I selected (I understand it does not indicates the number of tracks per selected artists, but it gives an idea) and here are the top 8: The Rolling Stones = 28 Depeche Mode = 26 T…

Just wanted to chip in real fast that I have seen the same thing the few times I’ve used the mix builder. I picked a lot of artists, but literally 95 percent in the play queue came from only one of the artists. The artist did not even have much more albums than the rest. All the artists I picked h…

hard to say what happened without a log. it’s possible e.g. you listened to other artists recently so those were deprioritized.

Keeping this topic open as 3.4.1 behaves the same: the Build Mix does not shuffle enough IMHO. Selected the same set of artists, in the same order. Out of the 18 first tracks, DM appears 11 times, OMD appears 2 times, Pet Shop Boys appears 4 times and Peter Gabriel 1. That said, Plexamp makes my d…

this is not something the client would have an effect over. however, this is something which a server update could make a large difference in, I believe the fix is coming in the next release. here’s my queue from Artist Mixing Peter Gabriel (8 albums) and Pet Shop Boys (12 albums). As you can see,…

[image] mbolo01: Side note: I started to use the Mix Builder as I was looking for a way to play a given artists mixed with related artists automatically, but the artist radio does not play the selected artist itself enough or at all, so I leveraged the Mix builder to select my favorite artist an…

[image] mbolo01: Maybe “jumping” is not the way to demonstrate that I don’t see the initially selected artist in the generated play queue ? should be a fine way, possibly all your Dire Straits tracks were played too recently? server logs might show more.

Check also this new release ~ Plex Media Server which has a cool enhancement to shuffle to “spread” artists/albums out better.
