MarkD Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Is there a way to detect when a Playlist is selected? I would like to be able to "automagically" (ie: through programming) turn Shuffle on with the selection of a particular playlist, and to have it off with another.Thanks!

MarkD Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Argh... I clearly didn't look closely enough at the Room Variables! That looks like it should work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddyo811 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I tried this and it doesnt work.Anyone know how to get a playlist to shuffle? I can only listen to Katy Perry for the 1000' time one more time.bdo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkD Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yeah, I seem to recall that if it worked it certainly wasn't reliable. =( It has been a while, but I recall setting randomize=true when the room turns on or some such thing...Funny... Katy Perry is also the first track of the playlist I created most recently too. =) And FYI... using the Windows sound recorder (!) I created a 1 second sound file that I select as the first track in a playlist... this way it always gets played first when a playlist is selected and then I get a random track as the first actual song I hear.M.

MarkD Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 ...problem with setting randomize=true when the room turns on is that it also applies to albums that I sometimes actually prefer to listen to in the order the artist intended. It's fairly annoying. The honeymoon is definitely over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingerbrown Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'm going to attach a hard drive via USB to the HC-300. So I want to have a "Music" button on my 6 button keypad that automatically plays songs from a playlist in a shuffle format. Will this work with setting it to "randomize=true" ? Will it play the first track in the playlist every time and then randomize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrautigam Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Sorry, i can't understand what can i do to randomize my "digital media", can you explain me step by step? I'm looking in room variables, but i can't see anything like "randomize". Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Shuffle for a room can only be set from the 'digital media' section. This gets placed in the first room that gets a controller, so you may have to search for it.In there, select the room you want to set to shuffle (program this AFTER the playlist selection, and put in a small delay of about 100ms) and set shuffle to on.

rbrautigam Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks, it works in 1.8.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Has been this way as long as I remember - which is far before 1.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
