[IDEA] Remove stereo test from random

[PJVervoorn]

Would it be possible to prevent the Stereo Test file from being added when random tracks or albums are being played?
Or perhaps more generic: hide files when they have a specific mp3-tag with a value (i.e. “LibraryInstructions” with values like “Hide", "SkipRandom”).

There is a --exclude option for auto-shuffle but I'd need to add that as an option in Audio Config. I'll put it on the TODO list.

I always do it the hard way. The SDCARD mount contains the test file. As I don't use the SDCARD, I just remove it.
1) sudo rm -r /mnt/SDCARD
2) Update library

Just adding a .mpdignore file, containing *, at the root of your SDCard will give you the same result.

Those are good options for me, but for new installs the file needs to be visible in the library.

Then kindly wait until Tim finalizes the configuration of the autoshuffle, as he said.
