Summary0017486: Auto-Playlists selected by random (auto-refresh) don't refresh in some cases
DescriptionIf an auto-playlist is configured with a limit that is greater than the number of files that match the playlist criteria, then it fails to auto-refresh if the user enables Sort by Random.

The bug does not occur if either:
- Sort by Random is not configured
- The number of matching tracks is greater than the limit

For example, supposing the criteria match 973 files and:
a) Limit to: 500 files selected by Random track (auto-refresh) | Sort by: Random
--> Auto-refresh/F5 triggers a refresh
b) Limit to: 1000 files selected by Random track (auto-refresh) | Sort by: Random
--> Auto-refresh/F5 fails to trigger a refresh!
c) Limit to: 1000 files selected by Random track (auto-refresh)
--> Auto-refresh/F5 triggers a refresh

TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build2303

 OK,
I modified the code to use "Auto-refresh" random sort order whenever there is the [x] Limit to: ... selected by [Random (auto-refresh)] enabled.
(i.e. even when the number of matching tracks is greater than the limit)

I also modified importing playlists from MM4 as after the fix of 0017365 all MM4 auto-playlists were converted to
...selected by: [Sort order]
which makes the "auto-refresh" not working.

So for those MM4 auto-playlists that have just single sort order field specified I am trying to match it with particular "selected by" field variant at first and match 'Sort by: random' with 'Selected by: 'Random (auto-refresh)'' to keep the "auto-refresh" behaviour for such a playlists imported from MM4.

Verified that Limits/Sorts function as expected in MM5. Leaving 'resolved' for Peke to test the migration process.
