command line tool to play random media from given folders
Project description
# playrandom
This tool is a command-line interface to mplayer that uses directories as playlists. Media files are played in random order until all files are played, then successively the least recent files are released to enable a loop in random order.
# Install
The fastest way to install playrandom is to use your systems tools:
pip install playrandom
## Requirements
All python required packages are listed in environment.yaml. In case you installed playrandom via a package management system like pip, anaconda, miniconda, … all dependencies should already be installed automatically. The only “external” dependency is [mplayer](http://www.mplayerhq.hu), which is usually installable by your systems package manager (apt, yum, …).
# Getting Started
After installation run playrandom –help to get a first overview of command line options and usage.
