Running Servio 0.5.2 / Windows Vista / Sony BluRay BDV-E370

- Selecting Random in audio returns a randomised list of tracks to the BluRay player - First track plays, and when complete moves on to second - Second tracks, but when complete stops - Expected: move to next track

For non-Random folders / lists the next track in the list is automatically selected when the previous stops. The same behaviour applies when manually skipping tracks; only the first track moves on.

I am having the same problem mentioned above.. On random play there is no continuous play==== Your title here... ====

It looks that some (e.g. Sony BDP 370) devices don't like the fact that browse request for the same page (start = 10, count = 10) returns different results every time.

We would have to implement some kind of per-client-session caching (reset when the client leave the random category, or based on time (would always return the same random entries for a given time)).
