Made a smart playlist (tv shows). Have folders in multiple locations so I figured tagging the folders would be the best way to group them together.

Playlist setup worked great. But not random.

Each time I start the playlist is starts in a random folder but after the first file, it just goes to the next in that folder.

Should I tag files instead of folders?

Saw this in the wiki which I believe should work for me. But I have a few other list I need to make, and things may change over time, just looking for the lease time consuming fix.

4.3.6 Random episodes from several TV shows
10 random episodes with a playcount of 0 from six different shows. Though as it's random this can create a list with two to ten episodes of the same show in a row.
If you specifically want to watch 6 random episodes from 6 different shows you could create playlists that are limited to 1 episode and 1 show (see One random movie example) . Then you queue the 6 playlists.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
    <name>Random episodes - AAFFSS</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="tvshow" operator="is">
        <value>American Dad</value>
        <value>Archer</value>
        <value>Family Guy</value>
        <value>Futurama</value>
        <value>South Park</value>
        <value>The Simpsons</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="playcount" operator="is">
        <value>0</value>
    </rule>
    <limit>10</limit>
    <order direction="ascending">random</order>
</smartplaylist>
