JaScoMa 33 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hello.. I've noticed that if I play tv shows in a shuffle mode, later (that day or the next day), the last show in the shuffle will show up as a continue watching. When I finish that show, it plays the next show in the series instead of continuing the shuffle play. Is there was way to continue watching with the episode in the continue watching and shuffle play?

Luke 37064 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hi, sorry, I don't quite understand. Are you saying you want to save the shuffle play queue and resume it later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaScoMa 33 Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hello.. ha-ha.. Yes, I guess that's what I was trying to say. If you start a shuffle play, why doesn't the shuffle play continue later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Because that's just not what it was intended to do. You could always shuffle again, or use a playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 But if I've chosen to shuffle play why would I want to watch the next episode rather than another random episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaScoMa 33 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Do you think it would be possible to add a "Shuffle Play" button in addition to the resume button so if we start a series as shuffle play, we can continue the shuffle play at a later time?

Luke 37064 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 It's not as simple as adding a button because it also storing the shuffled list somewhere. Essentially what we're talking about here is a playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Why does it need to stored the shuffled list? It's shuffling, so by definition nobody cares what order it's in. You can simply create a new shuffled list when "resuming" the shuffle, nobody will ever know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can simply create a new shuffled list when "resuming" the shuffle, nobody will ever know the difference. That wouldn't be resuming a shuffled list. It would simply be re-shuffling the same list which you can already do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Only by going into the show and selecting 'shuffle'. This is about the 'Continue Watching' section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Some concept of playstate on the list (and the list itself) will still be required in order to know that something should be shown there (and what to show). As Luke mentioned this is possible but currently there is no concept of a playstate on anything other than an individual item and there is no saving of dynamically created lists (like shuffling a series). Both will be required in order to do this properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
