[Implemented] Random Play (Roll the Dice)

[Level42]

Often times, my girlfriend and I are stuck aimlessly spending hours looking through the list of content, not knowing what to watch.

 

I think it would be pretty awesome to enter a Category (Movies, or TV Shows) and have a button for RANDOM, where Plex would simply pick out a movie at random for us to watch.

This can be acheived with shuffle…


What system are you using plex with?

You mean Client?

Either,

Plex for IOS
Plex Home Theater (Mac OSX)

Plex Web

[Edit1] Just found the Shuffle button on Plex Web. I feel like an idiot that I've never noticed this before. Can any one confirm if this exists on Plex HT or Plex for IOS?

---

[Edit2] Can't seem to find the option on Plex for IOS, which is the client I primarily use. Am I missing something?

Shuffle is also in Plex HT

OMG, this is exactly what I've been looking for, and it's existed all along.

Thank you kind sir for clearing this information up for me. This request can now be closed.

Shuffle on Video Playlists on PHT is not supported though. Feels like an omission more han anything else as the functionality is indeed baked in PHT for OS X on Music items.

This feature is NOT on the either the PLex preview or the regular plex app for Roku. I wish it was there. I have a huge collection!
