VLC 3.3.4 Beta 2 - where is video shuffle?

Postby MrVideo » 20 Jan 2021 04:02

On my recent trip, I tried playing videos on my Google Pixel 4A (Android 11). I gave up because I could not find a shuffle button. If it is there, it is well hidden. I'll be damned if I was going to manually pick videos from the extensive list.

Just tap the big play button at the bottom right. It will play all the videos. Then you can shuffle the play queue by taping the 3 dot icon of the player > Shuffle.

I would normally start playing videos by just selecting a video and playing it. There is no shuffle option when selecting the 3 dot button. I personally believe that it should be there. When I used your mode of selecting the play button, the first time I went into the options menu, the shuffle mode was not there. I tried it again, from scratch, and the shuffle button was there. It is there every time I tried after that.

No idea why the shuffle mode is not there by randomly picking a video and playing it.

The shuffle button is not there if you only have one video in the play queue. If you are not getting it with multiple videos, it's a bug.
