Samuel Mimram commented on LS-542: ---------------------------------- Ok, so here you go. My test script pl2.liq is #!../../liquidsoap/src/liquidsoap %include "../../liquidsoap/scripts/pervasives.liq" set("log.level",4) set("log.file",false) set("log.stdout",true) source = playlist(id="src","~/music") output.oss(fallible=true,source) Notice that I have a fairly large number of files in this dir: 2011/06/29 15:39:14 [src:3] Playlist is a directory. 2011/06/29 15:39:14 [src:3] Successfully loaded a playlist of 3182 tracks. I ran the target test2 in the following Makefile: test2: while true; do $(MAKE) prep2; done prep2: ./pl2.liq | grep Prepared >> pl2 & sleep 3 killall pl2.liq I get the following result: $ cat pl2 | wc -l 298 $ cat pl2 | grep Shirley | wc -l 36 (I checked that I have only one file with "Shirley" in the title). So, 36 / 298 = 12% is much much higher than random which should be around 1 / 3182 = 0.03%. I think that this confirms that I often get the same song, no? An interesting thing, this Shirley song is the first I get if I run the playlist in "normal" mode... > randomize for playlists is not so random > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: LS-542 > URL: http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/LS-542 > Project: Liquidsoap > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Samuel Mimram > Priority: Major > > I use "playlist(directory)" for testing, and by default the mode is > randomize.

Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
