Hi.
I wish to know if there is a way using Wild Media Server scripting to get folder random sort re-sorted?
I wish to get the folder 'All the music' with a random sort that changes every day.....
If somebody can help...
Thanks.

Folder "All Music" - right click - "Random order"

Hi.
Thanks for the answer, but my problem is that once I made this, the random order is always the same.
I mean :
If I have music A, B, and C
Then setup random order on all music folder.
If I connect using a client, I will get for example B, C and A
I re-connect again, still B,C and A
etc.
The order will never change, until I re-select manualy <Random Order> on the folder.
My goal is to automate this once per day....
Thanks.

Service - Media database - Refresh Info ?
Shuffle is not stored, but the list can be cached, and server, and device.

Hi.
I've not tried this one, but my main concern is that I want this to be done automaticaly.
So, I was thinking about creating a script to will run once per day, and will do the stuff....

Hi,
Settings - Processing - ...
Code: Select all
begin
WmsFindMediaFolder('0').Properties[1234567] := Random;
WmsDatabaseAutoSave
end.

Thanks a lot!!!!
I presume I must use this script as is, it will sort the 'All Music' folder?
And if I wish to do the same for the 'Favorites' folder, could you give me the related script?
Thanks!

Just automation for "Service - Media database - Refresh Info" or Renew
