Im using it currently to recreate watching Adult Swim by shuffling all the shows opened with VLC.

But it can be done to simulate other syndicated tv channels just without commercials

Or breathe new life into an old series you've seen a million times in sequence

Thank you, but I am sorry, may I ask you why post such a message to everyone in the Community or Lemmy, if the button has almost always been there, right in the center of the default layout?:

There might be people like myself who were unaware of it, it can help recreate syndicated tv experience without the commericals which is a fun use case or breathe new life intona previously watched series that you've gotten used to watching in the usual sequence

shuffle or random play is a basic feature found in most audio and video players that support playlists.

And people Shouldnt Know that? Do we realllly need to gatekeep here?

Bot/blocked.

A You Should Know post is generally expected to offer little-known information, mainly the kind that can significantly improve many people's quality of life. What you have posted here is widely known and trivial, and therefore fails both criteria.

It would be a better fit in Today I learned. (But not much better, because pointing out the existence of an old, well-documented, basic software feature is not the least bit interesting.)

O nos 😱

Lol bot 😂 Ur accounts almost as old as mine and you've basically done nothing in all that time except obsess about how "clean" (like a lifeless clear body of water?) your feed is and how you've blocked all the bots like they're collectible pokemon cards that you've all so caught

Great accomplishment, very sorry to lose you indeed. Very unprofitable for me, Truly; I shan't recover from this anytime soon

This unintentionally kinda reinforces that I Should (Have) Know(n) about it haha

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that!

Thats how i do
