'Shuffle' command for photos on Android app not shuffling

[beckfield 173]

Emby server Version 4.9.1.30 beta running on Linux Mint 21.3.

Android TV: Emby for Android 3.4.74 on nVidia Shield 2017

When I open a Photo library in the Android app, then press the 'shuffle' button, Emby chooses a random image in the library to start with, but then it shows photos in sequential order from there.  The sequence seems to follow whatever the current ordering of the library is set to.  So, if the order is set to "by Title," Emby might choose to start on image #34 (in order of Title) when I press 'Shuffle.'  But then, the images that follow are always #35, then 36, 37...  If the order is "by Date Added," then it may start on image #24, then it plays 25, 26, 27, etc., in order of date added.

So the shuffle command isn't really shuffling -- it's just choosing a random starting place, then going sequentially.
