Shuffle as a status

[Luke 42077]

This is coming in 4.9 and will be backported to 4.8. This is implemented identically as Repeat Mode, so I'm going to copy, paste and edit the notes from that:

I've added some new GeneralCommands that you can add support for in your apps:

SetShuffle

that takes a param of Shuffle, which can be

true

false

Recall that all commands are assumed unsupported unless you indicate. So all media playing apps can add these features, and those who accept remote control commands can also allow them to be controlled. 

In addition, playback start and progress check-ins now have a property:

Shuffle - true or false

The remote control API to play is backwards compatible, meaning, if your app doesn't support the new SetShuffle command, the server will pre-shuffle the items for you.

If you do support SetShuffle, then your play command through the api will also need to listen for PlayShuffle.

Also as a reminder, when the user toggles shuffle state in the player, make sure to immediately to a progress report to Emby Server to make it aware.

In the progress report, use the EventName of shufflechange.

This will allow remote controlling apps to immediately reflect the change.

Hum strange, maybe I was always subscribed in the threads where I was tagged then, probably something off by default as I never touched the settings.
