Video properties, random function change and normalization

Video properties for ability to see original resolution, time, size and codec.
When 'random' is enabled and I press 'back', the 'next' random episode plays. At this moment, please make it play the prevous episode/track instead.
Also change the weird normalization to real normalization, removing the audio headroom for the entire audio track. (instead of just small parts causing weird volume increasement attacks sounding like someone constantly tweaks the volume knob). For too dynamic audio decreasement, add a compressor.

Cheers!

I don't understand this part. When I have random enabled, hitting 'back' takes me to the song that just played.

You can see video info from Tools -> Codec info (or media info)

It is less bad than I thought, my apologies for that.
However, it does not work the first time when new files have been added. New list, next, prevous.

I still don't understand. I just dropped 9 files onto VLC (in playlist mode). I see the 9 files. Pressing 'next'/'previous' does nothing, because it has not begun to play. I press 'random'. Then, I press 'play'. It starts playing the second media. I press 'next', it begins to play the third media. I press 'previous'. It goes back to the second media.
I cleared the list. I dropped another 9 files on there. I press 'play'. It begins to play the fourth media. I press 'previous', it begins to play the first media. I press 'next'. It goes back to the fourth media.
What is your complaint?

The first time when I add files, when random is enabled, pressing next, then prevous, the first is not being played. First time after adding files only.
