[SOLVED] Auto-shuffle does not distinguish between different albums of same album title

[jenzd]

I have found out that it is rather easy to patch Moode to always use "--group-by album albumartist" instead of the default "--group-by album".

Just modify the file /var/www/inc/music-library.php. Search for the following line (near the end of the file):

Code:

        $mode = $_SESSION['ashuffle_mode'] == 'Album' ? '--group-by album ' : '';

And modify it (e.g. using "sudo nano /var/www/inc/music-library.php") to:

Code:

       $mode = $_SESSION['ashuffle_mode'] == 'Album' ? '--group-by album albumartist ' : '';

This completely fixed the auto-shuffle issue for me. Note however that this step needs to be repeated after each in-place update of Moode (which overwrites the file with a new version).

Thanks & best regards
