Yes, You'd like to have random seek position on startup? Easy enough to add... just need to find the time Smile

As an option (because I don't want to assume everybody uses long videos), yes. It would be great.
Thanks a lot for looking into this (whenever you'll find the time).
Much appreciated, as always.

Thank you so much for looking into this. I am currently abroad, in around ten days, maybe earlier, I will be back home and I will test this straight away. Thanks again.

It works if I activate the Random Seek functionality. I don't know how the previous video screensaver managed to avoid seeking and going straight to a random point in the video. Obviously it works the way you set it up but maybe you're curious to know as well. :-)

I also don't understand what the Random Position is for.

Random Seek changes the start time for the playing video.
Random Position has multiple actions: parses files in a random order, shuffles all playlists and starts playback at a random position.

Meaning random position within the playlists, not the single video file chosen, correct? Otherwise it follows, I guess, alphabetic order in any given directory.
