Random Play

[Misinthe 35]

Hello everyone, just a weird question. Is there a way to play show episodes randomly, or like create a schedule? Kind of like on if it was cable, like if I want to set it on for my child, it would play episodes from different shows, instead of him just watching the same show all day.

@Misinthewhat you want is the VirtualTV plugin by pünktchen

I use it myself, does exactly what you're describing.

Here's what's on mine right now. They're all "Premiere" because this is viewed from the admin user which isn't used to play any media.

Setting things up can be a little tricky. Personally I use tags and exclusions mostly to define content. Makes it easier to manage adding new things into the rotation, for me at least.

 Yes, thank you! I’ll give this a try!
