[vlc-devel] [PATCH 7/7] playlist: update the randomizer on media change

[Romain Vimont]

When the player notifies that the current media has changed, it must be
considered "selected" by the randomizer.

Otherwise, when the player requests the next media to play, the playlist
will always "peek" the same next item from the randomizer, which will
never actually "select" it.
