xSchedule won't play randomised

[drangryrahvin]

I have 2 playlists set up in xschedule, one is the generic show, the other contains 2 sequences set to music. The aim is to have an external button press start the musical sequence and randomly play either of the song sequences, then return to the generic show.

Everything works, except the random part. it just plays the playlist in order, step by step.

Any suggestions what is going wrong?

Can you show the playlist setup?

Here the playlist, and the configuration for the button to play a random element of that playlist. I've tried every possible combination of "play a random..." or play specified playlist, with the playlist set to shuffle, it always plays in sequence.

you only have 2 songs? why would you need random for 2 songs ?

So that it doesn't play the same song every time? Also more will be added later.

Having spent some time of my life programming, it could be a bug. Random is not always "random" depending on the algorithm and often involves division or multiplication that could result in "1" being the answer for only two sequences. Try adding some more sequences to the list (just copy over some Test sequences or copy the ones you have). Does it start to randomize better with more sequences?

How long do you have the show scheduled to run?

i agree here, try adding the same songs, but just names diffirent into the list then try again, could be its always ending with the same result as the random division ends up return the same result when its only 2 songs
