Shuffle keeps hiding

I am someone who uses the shuffle feature everyday for all my playlists and when watching tv shows. It seems that the GUI engineers are hiding this function cross platform in sub menus.

Please stop hiding the option in the player and within TV Shows and their seasons.

What client(s) do you have in mind?
It’s showing right on top of the app for me…

Plex Web

With the latest versions of Plex Web there’s shuffle buttons nearly everywhere in library view.

Roku TV app - in player, shuffle moved to a player settings. In library, again, placed in menu option rather than next to play options. Same with Playstation version.

In web, the button was placed next to the edit button, but has since moved. This is happening between all platforms for Plex. They are making shuffle an additional menu away + a few additional clicks + a load time for the menu to pop up during play.


Android, same as web. Once was right there, and they moved it.

Yes, please. It used to be so easy to push the down button and go to either repeat or shuffle but now it is in another menu.
Stop burying the controls. Or give the option of a full menu or a brief menu when you press the down button.
