Music shuffle play not working again

[EZEd 60]

This info posted in Android Client thread as well... Just tried to shuffle play music on a Genre.  Server locks up and needs to be restarted.  Restart from Dashboard doesn't work.  Have to shut down server by way of Task Manager and restart manually.  Tried shuffle play music by Artist...same behavior.  Server locks up and has to be manually restarted through task manager.  Only music play that is currently working for me is play an album (no shuffle).  Just play in line according to tracks...how boring.  This has happened before.  What ever you did last to fix it, please fix again.  When you get it fixed, I would like to offer that you stop fixing things until you break them.  Would be great. Thx

This was fixed? Not in my experience, music genres have been broken for over a year. Updates sometimes change the behavior so users have to find a way to shuffle genres that works best but I've never seen it fixed fully. I simply gave up on Emby fixing this and moved to Jellyfin (it has issues too) where music genres work.

Mine was working reasonably well until this past week or so (maybe two weeks now).  But it's borked now for sure.

I reported the same issue in a different thread - it's a regression of what used to be working functionality - devs keep saying 'were looking into it' ...

Hi, we are looking into this. Thanks for reporting.

@LukeGenre Shuffle is still completely broken and still sometimes even crashes the server. This is a regression of functionality and a significant problem. When will this be fixed?
