Playlist in a playlist in 1227 [#5393]

[PhilDG]

Bit of a strange one - I have a number of playlists and a main playlist which references these playlists. These playlists conain 10 random 5 star, 9 random 4.5 star tracks etc. and so on.

When individual playlists are viewed they are fine but when looking at the main playlist is viewed, the random element goes haywire in that it totally favours certain albums. In a library of 13,000 it seems unusual that a couple of albums have nearly all their tracks selected every time. It seems to favour artists beginning with 'B' oddly. This is not so when viewing the individual playlists.

I hope I have described this enough!

Could you describe a more detailed steps to reproduce?
i.e. found some examples on a smaller playlists and possibly add some screenshots in order to clarify this and make it easier for us to reproduce this strange issue.
Thx.

Note that you don't need to find a steps to reproduce, I found that something is really broken and found a steps to reproduce, see:

This will be fixed in the next build and I guess it is the same issue.

Looks like it might be the same problem as you mentioned in http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5393

Steps:
Create a smart playlight of 10 random 5 Star rated songs and it gives different tracks every time.
Create a playlist that contains that playlist and it gives the same tracks every time

Change it from 10 tracks to 74 minutes and it gives different tracks again.

Is this due to be fixed in the next release?
