Add ‘play all’ and ‘shuffle’ to all libraries...

[TMCsw 249]

I re-discovered this while finding a bug in the new WMC beta, logged and navigation bug resolved at: https://github.com/EmbySupport/Emby.WMC.UI/issues/18

to summarize:

me:

I can’t find a way to go up from ‘shows’ to ‘filters‘

Is it because this is missing for “TV Shows”? And why are these options missing?

Probably this functionality isn't available in the core client.
But play-all or shuffle doesn't make much sense anyway for tv shows, I suppose.

Me:

In the case shown I’m in a library that contains nothing but old SD TV Series (OTA Recordings) so these options should be available.
I know that is not always the case but the same could be said for a movie library that contains only a movie ‘series’ say something like ‘Lord of the Rings’, ‘Star Trek’, ‘Star Wars’, ‘Harry Potter’…
Let the user choose to use or not.

The core app doesn't allow this, so I'd need to start extra work on this
Please request this for the core app in the Emby forums. Thanks.

So here it is, as this seams to apply to all clients.

Thanks.

I was just going to post that a shuffle function in the TV Series folders would be great. Have it work the same way as it does in the movies folder, with the ability to exclude already played episodes.

Shuffle in the player coming very soon:

Look for it in the 4.9 beta channel in the coming days.
