[Feature request]: shuffle playlist

[saifg12345]

Is there any way in ytfzf to add shuffling features to playlists? I was wondering but I don't really have any bash scripting knowledge as far as scripting goes.

Depends on your video player, ytfzf uses mpv by default which i think does have playlist shuffling

--shuffle
Play files in random order.

You could just select all the items in a playlist (or the playlist itself) and give it to mpv, and have --url-handler-opts=--shuffle and mpv will shuffle the playlist.

I tried this and it didn't work. Do I have to manually set it in mpv? I’m currently running “ytfzf —type=playlists —url-handler-opts=—shuffle,” is this right?

I think you need --type==playlist,

but if that doesn't work then i'm not sure.

Do I have to manually set it in mpv

No harm in trying.

Yeah, I just ended up playing my music with mpv only. Thanks for the help though!
