Random File in Playlist.
Posted: 20 Dec 2011 00:36

I'm currently working on a home stream for around my house -- long story, but it'll stream through to my Roku boxes around the house like a channel -- and I am currently at a bit of a roadblock. It would seem as if the playlists are done via XML file and, unfortunately, I'm unsure of how I would go about editing the bit of code to play a random video each time it is called. For example:
It currently reads like this:
I'd really like something like this:
I'm not sure if it is possible but, if so how--and if not, how would I go about making playlists so that each day it doesn't play the same episodes as the previous day?
Thanks,
