It would be great to have the same random mix functionality as the LMS
GUI, so I would expect asking would take the form:

"Play/stream -song/album/artist/year- random mix"
This would randomly play/stream your entire library.

"Play/stream -song/album/artist/year- random mix by -genre-".
This would randomly play/stream only the specified genre for your entire
library.

Yeah, the "misfires" were probably me experimenting with how favourites
are now handled per your No. 990 post and reorganizing my list (which
includes folders) to conform to your "levels" approach.  I was missing
the point that there is a "zero" level, but once I got my head around
that and with some reorganization of my favourites list, I was able to
get the "dot" notation working predictably. However, there is one
anomaly I have noted. My favourites list, as shown in the LMS GUI,
starts with 2 folders, then a number of URL's with the final item in the
list being another folder. I would have expected the 3 folders to be
"0.1, 0.2 and 0.3", respectively, but in fact, the third folder at the
end of the list shows up as No. 24 when Mediaserver is ask to list
favourites. The contents of this folder can be access by using the dot
notation (i.e. "24.x"), so no big problem, but I would be interested in
hearing your thoughts on why a folder not at the beginning of the list
shows up apparently randomly somewhere in Mediaserver different from
it's location in the LMS GUI.
