Hi,
Is there a possibility to play files randomly?
For example, I have all “Three ???” episodes and I want to play one randomly.

Hi, as far as i know not directly, but… in HowTo: Toniebox as Jukebox [mpd] [teddyCloud] is described how to setup a media server which streams content to the box. maybe that can do that.

Yes, mpd can play randomly as well as never ending stream.

Thanks.
Mpd is only streaming?
Can I stream a random episode with a teddy? Or is it like a radio channel?

Well, mpd provides a (web)stream of your own radio chanel. You can configure your mpd to randomly play titles and/or let it loop for ever and so on…

The tonie on the box triggers teddycloud to play that (web)stream, just like it would be a “live tonie”. So what ever the mpd stream would provide, it will be played on toniebox.

In regards to the question: yes, mpd is only a stream, like a radio channel. And yes although it is only a stream, it can play random episodes. And no, it is not teddy doing that, but mpd. Teddy will only link your stream(playback) with a tonie/custom tag.
