Shuffle is broken on smart playlists

[leelynds]

Probably the same problem, that was reported in at least one other thread. Basically, Plex has created a new definition for the word “shuffle” that plays the most often played tracks first. It doesn’t make sense to a lot of people…

Music shuffle no longer works properly

To be clear, this is not a bug. Plex changed the way shuffle is done to help bring your more popular (i.e. played) songs up to the front. If you just keep hitting shuffle, the list won’t change too much, but as you actually play the songs and their play counts change, they will get better mixed around. If you are expecting a pure random mix, that won’t happen with shuffle. I’m checking to see if there is a way to do that now.
