Shuffle Button for Podcasts #465

Open BrajBliss opened 2 years ago

BrajBliss commented 2 years ago

What problem does this address?

For instance, let's say I have played all episodes of a podcast but now I want to listen to a random episodes. For that purpose, I'm proposing a shuffle feature.

What is your proposed solution?

Adding a shuffle button to play random episodes from any podcast or archive.

Did you search for existing feature suggestions?

Perhaps the "shuffle" should be applied at a Filter level.

We don't have the concept of Playlists anymore but I can see an end user having the desire to shuffle through multiple pods.

I thought more of adding it to the podcast description page near the subscribe/unsubscribe button.

Don't know if this would be possible, just an idea. Randomly add all episodes of a podcast to the up next queue and then start playing the top of the queue. This assumes the queue is originally empty, but I guess it might be possible to clear the queue before doing this.
