I know there are technically workarounds to achieve this now, but this is not the same as it being a fully supported feature. In my opinion the fact people are finding work arounds for this are evidence it would be a great feature to add., especially since it would be relatively easy compared to a “Smart Shuffle”. The shuffle is fantastic in theory, but when I shuffle a show with 120ish episodes twice in one day and see the same episode it’s a bit annoying.
I think it could be as simple as adding an option in the 3 dot menu saying “Shuffle Unwatched.” When a show is already playing you can view the upcoming episodes, a checkbox could be added to the view for “Unwatched Only.”
I know this feature has been brought up before, but it’s usually just met with “You can do that on web with these 6 steps.” I’d like to see this be a fully supported feature I can take advantage of no matter what I’m watching from.
