Shuffle all music - Android TV app

[Terry Fyde]

Good morning.

Is it possible to shuffle/randomize my entire music collection within the Android TV app?

The Instant Mix function is good, but it only loads 200 tracks at a time from my ~8000-track library.

I can shuffle my entire music library from the Windows JMP client home screen, but I can't find a way to do it from the ATV app. Am I overlooking something?

I believe that is a hard coded limit. Not sure if that is a client limit or imposed on the server side.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm guessing it's a limitation of the ATV app. I can shuffle my entire music library via the Windows & standard Android apps.

I only see shuffle limits on the server side. I don't see any references in the ATV client's code.

I believe clients can create larger playlists by not using this class. If the AndroidTV client is relying on the server to generate the playlist, that would explain why it has the 200 song cap.

Interesting. Thanks for that.
As someone with very basic skills, can I edit that value?

It would be a simple change, but it isn't exposed to the user in the UI. You'd have to clone the server git, make the change, then build from source. Then run the server manually, manually pass in where jellyfin-web is located, manually pass in where jellyfin-ffmpeg is located. Then do that every time the server is restarted.

LOL! I'll live with 200!
