I hope this doesn’t mean they are on the slippery slope of selling user data, thoughts?

    For context, I run Jellyfin on a box at home that serves 3 Rokus and a family of 4. I also run Jellyfin at work, a small school, where it feeds 18 Rokus in wide variety of use cases.

    There are two features on my wishlist that are available on Android but not yet Roku.

    The first would be the ability to shuffle a playlist. I loved that shuffle was added episodes a while back.

    Don’t shame me for wanting to watch things in a random order. /s

    The second would be the ability to search for subtitles. I love the new subtitles interface. It would be the cherry on top to be able to search for a missing subtitle without bouncing over to a separate devices.

    I know that’s a whole other kind of request, given the use of the open subtitles plugin.

    Thank you for all you do!

      Thanks for taking the time to reply.

      This is possible today with the current release.

      Click on your Playlist library. Then, on the grid of Playlists, highlight the one you want and instead of pressing “OK” press “Play” on your remote. It’ll shuffle play the highlighted playlist.

      For the subtitle one, I’m unsure what capabilities the API offers us and what functionality Roku would support, but it’s at least worth taking a look and seeing what’s possible.
