I tried the following when it comes to randomizing rivendell cuts... and none of them have been a success:
*Shuffling cut names in database via. PHP script (caused cuts to have wrong lengths and settings) *Clearing play log (did nothing) *Cleared play and local counters for all cuts (did nothing) *Cleared last play date time field for all cuts (did nothing) *Restarted rivendell daemons (shut them down before, put them back online after, all the above processes were done) *Setting all cuts to Play Sequence value # 1 (Random) in database (they play in a different order since they were 0 but it's been that same exact order ever since I changed the values to 1... even after all the tasks above were done) Does anyone have any hints on how to shuffle my cuts on a per-cart basis efficiently? ...even if I have to use a PHP script executed on a schedule to make MySQL queries?
