Hey Developers,

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Any way you program a random button into the plex interface? I have a lot of movies and it would be nice to be able to randomly select a title without having to think at all.

&nbsp;

Thank you for for making my favorite piece of software EVER!

You can get this functionality with play queues - go to a movie section (or TV season, or music artist), and hit the shuffle button from there. This will queue up the items in a random order.

Which client are you using? We currently have play queues implemented in PHT, iOS and web. Let me know if you need any more help.

Thanks!
