Play random episode

[orschiro]

Hey guys!

Any thoughts on adding a button on the podcast page to play a random episode?

Would be cool to get a random surprise of potentially one of the older episodes of a podcast you have never listened to. :)

Thanks!

Might be a nice idea for #3952

I would be glad to help prototype the 'home screen'. Just let me know the requirements. Also, I think having a random episode would be a nice addition too.

@ByteHamster Can I add this feature? I have also thought about adding this feature.

I think before prototyping we might need more extensive mockups

Then forget the home screen for now. Do you think we can test out this feature? Maybe add it to the playlist screen.

@peakvalleytech I can start making the mockups today and have something to start a discussion on by tomorrow night. I think we should close this issue and develop it only in the context of the home screen, to be honest.

I agree. Temporary solutions tend to be permanent, so we should only add it in the proper place.
