Description

It would be useful to have a shuffle option for TV series, so Popcorn can create a randomized queue from the available episodes instead of always playing them in their normal order.

The option could be available from the series page and continue playing random episodes until playback is stopped.

Research direction

Start at the series page and the playback queue or episode-ordering entry points; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Trace how normal episode playback is started, then verify that a series-level shuffle option creates a randomized queue and continues with random episodes until playback is stopped.
