Shuffle Shows YAML script
This is the YAML/script I’m using to make the “shuffle a show on Plex” experience actually work end-to-end. It includes the flow I talked through—device state checks, delays, Plex client availability, and the Plex content_id formatting that’s easy to get wrong. If you want a solid starting point you can adapt to your own library names and clients, this is it.
Pros
- +Provides a working structure for shuffling Plex shows via Home Assistant
- +Includes practical steps like delays and Plex client scanning for reliability
- +Supports both common shows and an 'other show' text-based pathway
Cons
- -May require trial-and-error to tune delays for your specific devices
- -Plex content_id formatting and library naming may need customization
