Hi All!
I was wondering if this is the intended behavior for the play random episode feature. It seems that any time mediaportal is exited, or the computer is restarted, the random seed for the "Play Random Episode" feature is reset. For example, if I were to go to family guy, and select play random episode, it would play something like 1x15, then 5x20, then 3x12, and so on. But if I restart mediaportal, and go back to family guy and click, "Play Random Episode", it goes 1x15, then 5x20, then 3x12, and so on. The only thing I could think is if having an episode as watched or unwatched has anything to do with it, because many times, I will skip watching the episode, because I am not interested in that one at the moment. If they were to be marked as watched, would they still repeat in that order?
Thank you in advance for your help,
James
