From 43a2e24c25531c27e502313d23c44bd5d7e0c405 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Robeson Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2014 15:56:59 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add itunes shuffle command to OSX plugin. Added shuffle functionality to the itunes command in the OSX plugin. iTunes 12 doesn't support setting the "shuffle" property on the playlist from what I've read, so this simulates the user interacting with the iTunes interface. The toggle option "clicks" the shuffle button in the Now Playing area. This has the effect of toggling the shuffle setting on whatever is currently playing. The on and off options use the Shuffle menu bar items.
