Keep Track of Recently Played Videos

OneJaeAtATime opened this issue · 8 comments

Does the software have any algorithm to not repeat videos if one of the last 4-5 videos played? Like a list of what's recently been played that keeps cycling through what's in the list.

The way it works is it shuffles the video on load and then just loops through that. So no need to keep track of anything since it follows a linear list that has already been randomized once.

How does it handle when you load it up for just 1 video and then shut down source once finished?

It will reshuffle the list and then play the first video. It's possible it'll be the same video. If you shut down the source there no way to carry the state over to when it loads again (this is like refreshing the page in your browser) so it can't prevent the video from being played twice.

Thinking about it, wonder how OBS handles cookies or local storage.

I'm assuming your issue is that you dont want the same video to play twice in a row when using the single video option.
If i can store stuff in the OBS chrome session i can maybe come up with a fix for this to keep info cross new loads

Meant to reply back and got busy, that's what I'm looking for. Cause I want it to be random each time we go to this scene.

Got it in v3.1.0 (or later)
Let me know if it works for you

Thank you! Updating now. :)

No update so I'm going to assume this is working
