    Wish there was a Jellyfin client that had a sort by random on tvOS, literally the only reason I use the Plex app.

      I’ve never seen that requested before. I’ll add it to the Roku client idea list.

        It’s missing from many players. Infuse is missing it too, which I have to use because Plex on tvOS is TERRIBLE. How does everyone look at movies then? Scroll through them alphabetically? I miss the play random button too, they took that away a year or two ago.

      My current workaround for that is adding whatever I want to shuffle into a playlist. I have one with some sci-fi shows in it that I regularly use. Smart collections is my most missed feature from Plex.

      edit: nvm, doesn’t sound like it would help your use case, read through it too quick first time round

        Have never been able to get into playlists. I don’t have time to sit down and scroll through my thousands of movies to pick individual ones out for a certain mood. I did that with music back in the 00s, but I had a considerably larger amount of free time on my hands back then. Should probably look into them a bit more.
