Hi, I often do shows where I have 10-20 videos that get exported to multiple synced MiniMADs. I make them each about 30 seconds long and set the playback mode to random. During playback, however, it seems to repeat the same video often, and some videos rarely get played. Maybe over time it would be a uniform distribution, but it's still annoying.
It would be great if there was a "Uniform Random" playback mode where all videos are played once in a random order, and then all videos are played once again in random order, etc. Bonus points if you ensure the same video is not played back to back when you get to the last video of the current random rotation and go to the first video in the next random rotation.
The overall logic is super easy, just build a list of all the videos and randomize it (you can use a card shuffle algorithm to do this). Play each video in the (randomized) list first to last. When you get to the end of the list, remember the last video played and randomize the list again. If the first video in the newly randomized list is the same as the last video played, exchange the first video in the randomized list for the last one. Then you start again...
Thanks for your consideration!
