Bulk playlist do not load all songs

I'd like to report a bug with shuffle on large playlists.

App version: 1.44.0 Jellyfin server version: 10.11.11 iOS version: 26.6

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a playlist with 400+ songs.

  2. Immediately tap Shuffle (or Shuffle All) without scrolling through the track list first.

  3. Only a subset of the tracks get included in the shuffle/playback — not the full playlist.

Workaround I found: If I scroll all the way down through the entire track list first (so every track loads), then scroll back to the top and hit Shuffle, it works correctly and shuffles the full playlist.

This suggests shuffle is only operating on whatever tracks have been paginated/loaded into memory at the time, rather than fetching the complete playlist first. I noticed the 1.40.0 changelog mentioned "Large playlists now load all tracks correctly" — this may be a regression of that fix, or a related edge case that wasn't fully covered.

If I go to songs with 400+ songs and do shuffle all, it will not load all songs in the shuffle pool as well.

Thanks for the great app otherwise — it's been my go-to Jellyfin client.
