Shuffle play of TV shows needs an "Only Unwatched" feature

[wookiegr]

I swear Plex had this feature ages ago and then one day it disappeared. The shuffle option is awful because no matter how many hundred of episodes a series may have, Plex only grabs the tiniest handful of shows from a particular show to cycle through. If Plex had the option to only shuffle shows that are unwatched, my life would be so much better, along with others’, I’m sure.

From a similar suggestion that was posted a few days ago… please check out the mentioned approach on how to use a custom playlist/collection to achieve shuffling only unwatched episodes. Similarly I’ve linked an older existing suggestion in that thread.

Shuffle - Only Play Unwatched

Have you considered shuffling a smart playlist/collection that’s filtering the library for those shows and only includes unwatched ones? Edit: Also… there’s already an existing suggestion thread discussing the addition of an option to only play unwatched episodes during shuffle. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes. Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.

I’ll therefore close this thread as a duplicate.
