Concerning your problem of the playlist playing the same episode when you restart the script. In your smart playlist do you have a rule to only include videos with a watched status of 0 or less than 1? If not, you may want to add something like this as a rule.
Also, you may want to make sure that you have "shuffle" enabled. To do this, select any video file (from either file list or library), and select Queue Item from the context menu. Then, select Now Playing... from the context menu. This brings us to the list of currently queued items.
I haven't had the opportunity to test this out yet, but am looking forward to it. Please let us know your results with the above.

No, I don't have a rule in my playlist to ignore watched shows. Why exactly would I want to do that anyway? If I added a rule to only include watched status < 1 that would ignore my entire collection. Jason's already tracked down the issue cause this problem and we'll hopefully see if the fix works as soon as it's ready.
Also all of my playlist a set to random. So the list should randomize every time it's called for. At least that's what it does when I enter the smart playlist the normal way. It's never the same twice.
Anyway, I believe you might have me confused with someone else. Psike was the one that was asking for help before regarding setting up playlists....
