[QUOTE="bnsaflsujt, post: 591672, member: 101233"] Hi SilentExcept; That may have not been the best choice of words then. I guess to make the most since, it should be "Then if I restart..." I don't mean for the 'But' to sound like if I do something else, it solves the problem, just a continuation of the problem description. Hi revs, Yes, I understand that 1,3,5 is random, and that there is even a chance that 1,3,5 would come up as the next 3 iterations as well. However for it to do this EVERY time mediaportal is reopened seems to break standard concepts of probability. I mean, what are the chances that when telling it to pick a random episode out of 200 (series view), that it would pick the same sequences over, and over, and over again. That is why I believe that there is a random seed set in the code, instead of using the computer clock to seed. I mean, if I am truly getting these episodes to play in this order EACH time, RANDOMLY, I really need to go buy a lottery ticket! Thanks for the replies everyone, James P.S.: I will as always try to respond ASAP to any posting, but I am about to leave for school (university), and I have to attend a 6 hour seminar today. However, the seminar is on image/video manipulation/analysis and code enhancement in MatLab, so it isn't really a "have to attend" but "want to attend." :) P.S.S.: (SilentExcept) If you are not able to duplicate it, is there any type of a log that I can send you to help you determine the problem?
