Random Track Playing

[simoncn]

It is not possible for the server to change the order of playing. The renderer takes tracks from its playing queue and sends streaming requests to the server. The server can only stream the tracks that the renderer has requested in the order that it has requested them.

Edit: The above applies to a renderer using the OpenHome protocol, such as a Linn DSM. For an UPnP AV renderer, it is the control point that maintains the playing queue and tells the renderer which tracks to request from the server and in which order. The server cannot tell which of these approaches is being used.
