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

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

    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.)
