Hi,

I found a few other articles around this, but always for music. Ive noticed that with TV shows with greater than 50 or so items being shuffled, they are not random. If I shuffle the same show, I will see the same episodes time and time again. Its like theres an upper limit, and after that it can’t handle it.

And its not just a coincidence, Ive tested this on different shows with different numbers of episodes. Any ideas on how I can increase the randomness?
