[Feature Request]: Add Random Video Playback from Channel #5422
Description
Describe the feature you'd like to request
I would like to request a feature that allows users to play a random video from a specific channel. This feature should include two separate buttons: one for playing a random unseen video from the channel and another for playing any random video from the channel. This would enhance the user experience by providing a quick and easy way to discover new content from their favorite channels. Additionally, it would offer a convenient way to revisit educational, entertaining, or informative content from channels where the user has already watched most or all of the videos and wants to re-experience them. These buttons should be available both on the channel page and in the side panel where channels can be pinned.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Add a "Play Random Unseen Video" button on the channel page that, when clicked, plays a random video from the channel that the user has not yet watched.
- Add a "Play Random Video" button on the channel page that, when clicked, plays any random video from the channel, regardless of whether the user has seen it before.
- Ensure that the random selection algorithm is fair and does not repeatedly select the same videos.
- Add these same buttons to the side panel for pinned channels, allowing users to quickly access the random video playback feature for their favorite channels without navigating to the channel page.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- A feature that allows users to shuffle all videos from a channel and play them in a random order.
- A playlist feature where users can create a playlist of unseen videos from a channel and shuffle them.
These alternatives could also enhance the user experience but may not provide the same level of convenience and discovery as the proposed feature.
