[Feature Request] Auto shuffle for URL-based playlist

Open rautars opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In my channel, there aren't predefined file-based playlist. People have favorites youtube playlists URL's and they always have to manually shuffle playlist after each time they put play command.

Describe the solution you'd like guild-level configuration something like always_shuffle

Describe the basic flow/steps of using this feature How this feature would be used:

  1. Set always_shuffle = true in serversettings.json
  2. Enjoy the time saved from typing 'shuffle' command :)

Additional context Title says 'URL-based playlist' just to clarify that I do not use file based playlists. However, I think for consistense sake such property like always_shuffle could work as default for all types of playlists.

Have you confirmed that this idea is not already described here? https://github.com/jagrosh/MusicBot/projects/1 Yes

Other bots (I think it was Groovy) allowed play + shuffle in the same command using an additional flag-like argument:

-play -s https://...

There was also stuff like -j for skipping the current queue and jumping directly.

Use case: I use Discord to DM RPGs and every time there is a scene change, I have to

  • Change the map on Roll20
  • Clear the Queue
  • Play the new Playlist
  • Shuffle
  • Do all the other game-related DM things.

If I could squish steps 2-4 into one single copy-pastable message to send I'd be very happy.
