Hi, the features of the new version 1.7.7 says “New: Shuffle play input for internal music player”, but I can’t find how can I do that…I can’t find no shuffle options/button, what am I missing?

Our older dashboards do not have a shuffle button as option was not available. There are two dashboards with shuffle, the C8 premium dashboard and music player example.

You can add shuffle functionality into your own dashboards. See the music player example and how its shuffle button is linked to an action that toggles the shuffle on/off.

It will stay on random if you switch from the music player to the default display after setting it to random. It however needs to be done again every time after things power down.
