  • Uploaded over 2 years ago
  • Works with Songbird 1.2.0 - 1.5.0a

Release 0.1.1

  • Fixed sequencer bug that prevented users from double clicking to play a track while Category Shuffle is enabled.
  • More intuitive playback.

Known Bugs

  • Occasional sequence stop at the end of a category grouping (such as an album) instead of continuing to the next grouping. Choose Controls->Category Shuffle->Play Random to continue shuffling if this occurs.
  • Mostly incompatible with the Now Playing add-on. Current workarounds are to disable Now Playing (requires restart) or to do the following:
    1. Set Now Playing Preferences as "Start playing the track, and Show the track as well as its containing playlist in the now playing list"
    2. Go to the playlist you want to shuffle and double click on any track. This will load up the entire playlist into Now Playing.
    3. Go to Controls -> Category Shuffle -> By Album (or any other Category)
    4. Go to Controls -> Category Shuffle -> Play Random Album. You might have to hit this a couple times. The Now Playing list will not display tracks correctly, but you should get proper Category Shuffle behavior.
