Random Video to Rewatch

Comprehensible Japanese Suggestions & Feedback
1

I’d like to be able to request a random video to rewatch from the videos I have already watched. It would be nice if I could create a playlist of such videos. One could expand this further to include selection parameters, such as selecting from the previous week/month or by difficulty.

Thanks for your consideration.

I realize that I can already do most of this. The only addition I can suggest is an option in the Status dropdown menu to show “Watched Previous Week.” Thank you for being one step ahead of me. :slight_smile:

How do you get the option to rewatch a random video from the ones already watched? Can’t seem to figure out how to do so :sweat_smile:

From the Watch list, you can select “Watched Only” from the Status dropdown list. If you then select “Auto-fill Playlist,” it will create a playlist of videos you have already watched. It isn’t really random, as it tends to pick among the same few videos every time, which is why I had suggested picking from the previous week. If this is implemented, a few more tweaks would probably be good, like a “real” random selection. There’s a risk that the page will get too complex, though.

There actually is a way to fully randomize a playlist of watched videos, but it’s just tucked away under “Other Items” rather than using “Auto-fill Playlist.” I have an “easy” playlist that I use as warm-ups for the day. I was able to put all videos I watched from a ten level range into the playlist, then shuffle it. Now it’s set to auto-remove them after watching. When I finish the playlist next month, I plan to load it up again and re-randomize it.

Here’s steps to create a random playlist:

  1. Filter for the videos you want in the playlist (e.g. Watched Videos Level 1-10)
  2. Open the playlist you want to add the videos to or create a new one
  3. In the playlist options click Other Items > Add search results to playlist > Type the full number of videos from your search to get them all
  4. In the playlist options click Other Items > Sort by… > Random

That should create a large playlist then shuffle it up for you. I also like your suggestion for a method to add videos from the previous week. Maybe a filter for videos you first watched within a certain date range would be nice. As is, the only way I know to do that is to go into your history and manually add the add videos to a playlist, which I guess doesn’t take too long but I have to do it frequently.

Totally Awesome! Thanks.

(You may want to put those directions somewhere if you haven’t already.)
