Playlist Shuffle Broken.

[Temecula]

windows 8.1

open vlc
undock playlist
add several hundred video files to playlist
select shuffle
pick movie, hit play

...and it will do something very odd. Over the course of say 100 plays of a 300 item playlist, it might play item #62 3 times before it plays item #s 45, 50, 52, 53 etc even once. I t will seem to have an affinity for certain files while seemingly never playing others. All of the files work, all play in vlc if it is directed to play them, but when left to shuffle a long playlist it simply repeats some files too often.

How does one set it so that once it plays a file it is removed from the playlist, or at least passed over until all other items have played? I want it to exhaust the entire playlist before repeating.

Try 2.2.0, we improved that.
