Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

Totem is in random mode, I launch totem from the shell :
$ totem /some/dir
the first file played is always the first file in the directory (first in alphabetic order). next files are properly played in a random order.

Upstream bug closed "RESOLVED FIXED" on 2014-01-23.

Tested "Shuffle" mode using version 3.32.0 on Ubuntu 19.10.

No conventional playlist in the new interface but using a
small set of files the Shuffle button does cause a different
file to be played first unlike the Play button.

So closing this as fixed.
