Is there a way to play a random playlist of the entire music collection using the standard Music library screen?

I thought if you have a top folder with all sub folders holding music you just press play on that folder

Yep - Ctrl-P on a folder creates a random playlist of all the music in and blow that folder...

You can configure play to play in track order in config.xml though which causes this method to fail. I don't remember what the shuffle key on the hidden menu does, I thought it was a random function but I tried and it didn't do anything.

I only have one music folder. Does that mean I need to add a 2nd folder so I can select the Music folder from the "top folder"?

yes that is the issue with it I just remembered you have to have a Dummy folder (minimum of 2 folders in set up)
Npvr is to smart and takes yiou straight into the sub folder otherwise

Or you could add a couple of plugins & have something that is really user friendly & easy to use, not to mentiong a lot of fun if you enable FanArt

From another post....... (your default MB4 collection is selectable through the MB4 settings)

MB4-SSPlus one button Jukebox

First off this feature has to be my most used feature with NextPVR....

For those of you that don't know about it: If you are running SSPlus screensaver & MusicBox4 when the screensaver is displaying you can press the Red button (Alt+R) & it will start playing a random playlist of your default MB4 collection..... if you have visitors staying over it is so easy to explain, they pick it up in seconds.

What's the remote equivalent of Ctrl-P please? (I only use the NMT).
