dannymichel 102 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Forgive my ignorance but I’d like to create a plug-in that sorts your library by random but I’m unsure where to start since this is closed sieve. How would I begin to go about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2352 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I dont think you need a plugin for that, the existing api allows you to specify random as the sort order when requesting items. Each client will need to support that to display the items in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't need a plugin for that, how would I accomplish sorting my library by random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamB 2352 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 the clients needs this support, the server can already do it but the clients would need to ask for the data to be randomized or random sort the data once they receive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the clients don’t exist, what are my options? Build clients of my own for mobile firefv and web? Or a plug-in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
