Why Can't I Shuffle music videos on my Smart TV

[FJOverholt 0]

1.  When I watch stored music videos on my computer I have options at the top that includes the option to shuffle videos.  When I watch stored music videos on any of my Samsung Smart TVs those options are not present.  What am I missing?

Hi there, what is this pdf you are attaching? What version of the Emby Samsung app do you have installed?

I can't seem to be able to shuffle my music videos when watching EMBY on any of my smart TVs.  For example, I created a music video folder titled "Not So Famous Artists" and have downloaded music videos into the folder.  When I watch EMBY on my PC, I can select the folder and shuffle the videos.  However, when I want to watch the videos on any of my Smart TVs, I can select the folder but there is no shuffle option.  What am I missing?

Hi there, what Smart TV?

I keep my music videos on Emby in folders and playlists.  When I watch Emby on my computer, I have the option to shuffle the videos. When I watch Emby on my smart TV there is no option to shuffle the videos.  What am I missing?

Going off these images you are talking about DLNA not the Emby Samsung app/client correct?

Emby version 1.0.88. To avoid having to use WiFi. I link directly to my Emby account on my PC through my hard-wired network .  My TV's are also hard-wired to my network.  Using the Emby App on my TV works fine.  It's when I link to my PC Emby account that I have the problem.  My PC is a CyberPower C Series Supreme Liquid Cooled PC

So you want DLNA to have the same functionality as a built client? My understanding is DLNA does not support shuffle play.

Hi, yes that is Samsung software, not Emby. Why not instead use our Emby Samsung app?
