Random Tracks doesn't work

[nicodoggie]

Binary package hint: amarok

Whenever I use amarok, even from the 1.x days, I create a playlist but I listen to the music in it with Playlist>Random>Tracks enabled. For some reason, with Amarok 2, even with that option enabled, it just keeps on moving to the next item in the queue instead of picking out a random track to play. IIRC, when I was trying out the Amarok2 betas when I was using Intrepid, this was working properly.

Anyway, details:

Description: Ubuntu 9.04

This seems to work fine in Amarok 2.1.

The bug is back in Amarok 2:2.2.1-0ubuntu1 from Lucid (but it's fixed in upstream and Debian Sid).

The upstream's patch also fixes Ubuntu bug #456139

Still here for me with latest Lucid package (2:2.2.1.90-0ubuntu1) - I have no random-specific options and it doesn't work.

Actually... In Amarok 2.2.1.90, random tracks playing works well again.

Amarok developers changed its location. Look for the button below playlist.

Bug is not reproducible in Amarok 2.2.1.90.
