Playing a playlist with an intent (from tasker) disables shuffle mode, starts playlist from same song
Description
This is perhapes related to another issue I am having, but this time rather then using a shortcut I am using an intent. When I send an intent using tasker like so:
action: android.media.action.MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH
category: DEFAULT
extra: android.intent.extra.focus:Audio.Playlists
extra: query:MyWeirdPlayListNamez
package: org.videolan.vlc
target: Activity
The playlist always starts from the same song, and it disables shuffle altogether. That is to say, the orange double crossed arrows at the bottom of the UI go from being orange to greyed out.
Expected behavior
What I want to happen is that when the task executes for the relevent playlist, a random song is played from the playlist.
Actual behavior
playlist starts with the same song always, but and shuffle is disabled.
Steps to reproduce
- Create send intent task in tasker with values set as above
- Launch task
