Public bug reported:
If `vlc` is invoked with a list of directories to add items to the
playlist from, e.g. `vlc /path/to/dir1 /path/to/dir2 /path/to/dir3` only
one is expanded in the sense that it's content is added to the playlist,
the other directories are added as item which is expanded when the
playlist proceeds to the position or if the user clicks on it.
This influences random playlists as the unexpanded items only count as
one item instead of the number of expanded items, e.g. if `dir1` and
`dir3` had 100 items each and `dir2` 3, the possibility of and item of
`dir1` being chosen in a random playlist is 1/(1+1+3), but should be
1/(100+100+3).
All directories should be expanded from the beginning.
I'm very certain that this behaviour observed by me isn't a statistical
anomaly, but it could be, of course.
