Adding a "random movie" option?

krish_2k4 · 2010-08-31 14:56

is it possible to add a random option to the movie section of Alaska Revisited? like if you press "R" or "CTL+R" it will skip to a random movie each time you press it.

I could change the 'Latest Added' submenus on the Home to 'Random' but if you want to pick a random movie then just close your eyes, scroll and stop.

lol i already do that, just thought it would be better if you could press a button and it scrolls to a random movie each time you press it.

no biggie, eyes closed method is good enough.

Actually I love this idea, if it was possible to have a random option that would pick from my unwatched movies that would save me a lot of scrolling thinking "Ooooh, I could watch that, or that, or that ... ah bugger it, I can't decide so I'm just going to watch tv instead." Smile

Sounds good, maybe it could be implemented into the context-menu.. :confused2:

Yeah...I always thought this would be a good idea as well. Sometimes trying to decide what to watch is a major chore. Nod

Probably better off asking the Feature Suggestions part of the forum.
