Background music doesn't shuffle and resets to first track when a game is played

Issue #4815 new
Chris Weaver created an issue

Seems like that firstly even if shuffle is selected the music will eventually just start playing sequentially through the files in "Launchbox\Background\" after a few tracks if left alone. Additionally, the playlist will reset if a game is played, though the time it takes to do so will vary someone depending on how long it has been playing before this. It will be right at the end of the current song if a game is played within a few tracks of startup.

This being said, it does shuffle if you force a track skip, but only in that case and will still reset back to play sequentially through if some time is allowed.

This makes large music collections for background music completely impossible, as no matter what it will not make it far into whatever collection you have.

Specs: -Launchbox/Bigbox v9.5 -Windows 10 Pro -Occurs every time I use BigBox - Make a series of background tracks and check the play order while shuffle is enabled. Allow a few tracks for the bug to take effect. For resetting, just launch a game after one or two tracks and if given time it should reset back to the first track again. -There is no error text for this.
