"Random songs" fails to add new songs (loops around to top of existing list)

[chetmurthy]

Describe the bug
I use "Random songs" to play music for hours on-end. It doesn't add new songs, but loops around instead.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. click on "Random songs"
2. click on [right-arrow] icon
3. listen for hours
4. eventually the songs at the top will replay in that order

Expected behavior
I expected that as songs got played, eventually new songs would replace them at the bottom of the playlist.

Make sure you don't have "Repeat" enabled.

Hi, I checked, and indeed, I do NOT have "Repeat" enabled.

Now I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that you would listen for hours, but then it would start again? How would you listen for hours if it didn't add tracks? How many tracks are queued up at a time? Did you run a background scan while the music was playing?

Please enable DEBUG logging for plugin.randomplay, let things happen, then send me your server.log.zip from Settings/Advanced/Logging (https://www.dropbox.com/request/T3RctyzGgNg0oFDubq6a).

hello, thank you for looking into this. I don't know how long it takes for things to loop back around, since I don't pay -that- much attention to the music. In any case, I have it set to (cut-and-paste-ing) "Now Playing will show
100
upcoming songs and
100
recently played songs."

It says "Total Time: 6:58:11 "

I'll follow your instructions and post back when I have uploaded this data. Again, thank you!
