Full Version: Random TV Shows on a Smart Playlist

Is there a way to create a smart playlist that chooses random video files from select folders? My aim is to create a playlist that grabs from select folders to mimic a regular TV channel. Specifically for my children to play different kids' shows, and keep it fresh. For example it would grab an episode from Jake and the Never-land pirates, followed by Team Umi Zumi, then a loony toon, etc. etc. It doesn't have to be in that specific order but I would like to turn on xbmc and play the Playlist and it would be different each time. This would have me avoid makeing new playlists or queuing many items each time. I would like it to loop to infinnity but if it was finite you could just play it again.

I read this: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Smart_playlists maybe it is right in front of my face but I feel what I would like is a little different.

Thanks for your help

What black_eagle has posted, however I am not sure it supports PseudoTV Live which is the latest incantation of that great Add-On.
