Hi Howard, I am a little confused reading your post so I'll just make a couple of points. "pcp rand" generates a random playlist for the player. It doesn't need a restart or reboot maybe just a play command. ie. "pcp rand; pcp play". In fact if you shutdown and leave it off for 10 or 15 minutes LMS will forget the player, including the playlist. "pcp rand" has nothing to do with AUTOSTARTLMS="randomplay+tracks". This feature means the player will generate and play a new random playlist when rebooted. I am not sure what you are trying to achieve. I play random all the time, I don't using use any autostart features. By default, if you are playing a random playlist, and reboot pCP, it will just continue playing the random playlist. Are you running multiple instances of LMS on your network? This can be very confusing. Use the web interface for settings as much as possible. Doing it manually only adds to the problem. If you do decide to manual changes you need to do a "backup" to make the changes persistent. Remember that piCorePlayer is mainly in RAM, changes vanish after a reboot unless you backup. regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108852 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
