Shuffle only works using the switch-gui - not by code

[me1337me]

Describe the bug
I use node-red and set up a call service to let my echo dot play a playlist.
Then I wanted to have it shuffle. Therefore I set up another call service node as follows:

That didnt work, neither before or after the play_media node.

I also tried to use the switch, before and after the play_media. I tried toggle, turn_on and a combination of first turn_off then turn_on

None of these worked ;(

But when I go to devices in Hass.io, select the switch and toggle it, shuffle is true (checked in "states")

What am I doing wrong?

System details

• Home-assistant (version): 0.108.9
• Hassio (Yes/No): Yes
• alexa_media (version from const.py or HA startup): 2.5.15
• alexapy (version from pip show alexapy or HA startup): ???

The shuffle switch is only active when the media player allows it. Are you using the node_red when it is in fact available? Does it work in the dev tools services tab?

Someone from HA forum told me how to solve it. I had to add "shuffle" to the command string to play the playlist:
{"media_content_id":"shuffle playlist nu metal and rock songs","media_content_type":"AMAZON_MUSIC"}

Closing as solved.
