Shuffle play for watched episodes #642

What enhancement or feature would you like?

I would like the ability to be able to play a randomly selected watched episode.

How would you expect it to work? Can you illustrate it with examples such
as images or scenarios?

When selecting this feature, a random episode would be played from all the 
episodes in the database marked as watched. A kind of re-run feature if you 
like. 

Rather than having to start the feature for each episode it could continuously 
play, selecting a different tv series when the episode has finished e.g. if 
I've just watched a random episode of the Simpsons, the next random episode 
selected would not be a Simpsons episode, it would be something from another TV 
series if there were other series.

It maybe nice to have a resume feature too, where by if you stop the 'random' 
episodes from playing, on re-start it starts from where it left off. Not sure 
how useful that would be.

May be a skip function too, if an episode starts and you want to skip it, you 
can. The function jumps to another randonmly selected watched episode albeit 
from a different series if the above 'different series' feature is used.

May be a guaranteed different TV series option? E.g. if I only have four 
different TV programs in my database, say A, B, C and D then the feature 
ensures that it has played a randomly selected from each before playing a 
second. So if program A has an episode played first then A will not be selected 
again until B, C and D have all had at least one episode played? This might be 
useful for people with a small selection of TV programs.

Please provide any additional information below.
