Screenshots...

On my TODO list...

Known issues...

ONE... Player will only show a max of 200 videos loaded, but it will shuffle through the full playlist. My current playlist has approx. 1600 videos, and it shuffles through them all.

TWO... Player will shuffle the videos, but you will get repeats. (still working on this)
