Favorite Albums Shuffle Feature Doesn't Work as Expected - SimplifyAndAddCoffee - 2025-05-22

JF 10.10.6 docker image linuxserver.io branch

Two different methods produce different but both incorrect results:

Method One:

Steps to reproduce:
1. On the home page, click music > albums
2. set filter to favorites
3. click the shuffle button

expected behavior:
begin playing a random selection of albums from the filtered set

actual behavior:
begin playing a random selection of albums from the whole library.

Method Two:

Steps to reproduce:
1. on home page, click Favorites
2. scroll down and click the "Albums >" category header
3. click shuffle.

expected behavior:
begin playing a random selection of albums from favorite albums.

actual behavior:
play one random album from favorite albums, then stop.


I searched the forums and didn't see a thread on this already even though I though I remembered seeing the issue mentioned here before, so apologies if its a repost.
