Ah, was looking for a random_play log or something, here is the output, let it go through the songs until the end (it stopped after the 10 songs played):

RandomPlay: playRandom called with type track
RandomPlay: -1 songs remaining, songIndex = 0
RandomPlay: Starting random selection of 10 items for type: track
RandomPlay: Find returned 10 items
RandomPlay: Playing track: Desire, 18837
Adding 9 tracks to end of playlist
RandomPlay: Playing static track mode with 10 items

is there no more than that?  it should be reporting each song change.
check your settings, that you have it set to have an ongoing 10 tracks, etc.

Yes, that was all :-(

I couldn't find any settings for random mix on the sever->plugins or random mix page, other then how many tracks to show that still have to be played and have already played.


The "static track mode" might be the problem.  So where do you change those settings?

Thanks!

look at the very bottom of the Random Mix page for:

 [] Add new items when old ones finish
and:

 Now Playing will show [] upcoming songs and [] recently played songs

Static track mode is definitely the problem.  If you want  more tracks added, make sure that "Add new items when old ones finish" is ticked.  This option defaults to 1, so you must have unticked it at some point unless there's another bug lurking somewhere.  My guess would be that there isn't, but bugs are tricky like that...

Please confirm that the option is currently unticked for you and that ticking it makes the problem go away.

I don't have that option on my Random Mix Page...

I only have the long list with: 
Genres to include in your mix:

And:
Now Playing will show  upcoming songs and  recently played songs.

I have attached the source of the random mix frame.

Please update to the latest nightly.  I've no idea why this option should be missing, but it's certainly there in the latest version as of yesterday evening, R5683.

Updated to the latest nightly, and there the option reappeard.  Bug fixed.  Thanks.
