    1. Can VLC or some other Windows program shuffle through a playlist without ever repeating a file, while also storing that state for future sessions?

      I am using Windows 10. That is perhaps a silly question to ask, but I did not find an answer. Suppose that I have a playlist with 100 videos on VLC or some other video player. I wish for it to...

      I am using Windows 10.

      That is perhaps a silly question to ask, but I did not find an answer.

      Suppose that I have a playlist with 100 videos on VLC or some other video player. I wish for it to play all the one hundred files in random order, with the exception that any video that was already played (or, possibly, played to completion) will be excluded, and will not be played again. A video not played to completion would resume from where it stopped.

      This should be persistent, so the next time I fire up the playlist it starts from where I left it and also remembers the videos that were already played and should be skipped. Ideally, upon completion of the playlist, I should be able to learn that it was complete, so I could get new videos/episodes of whatever shows I am shuffling.

      Thanks!

      EDIT: I understand I can actually pre-shuffle the playlist to get something very similar to what I am asking. However, I would rather not know what is coming next. Like it used to be when I watched TV back in the day. Thanks! ;)

      finally getting to be that time where I need a USB-C slot on my tower that I built back in 2017 so I started looking into expansion cards.

      One thing I can't tell is how to tell if a particular expansion card supports the usb-c ports with DP-Alt mode for a 4k display if the need arises.

      for exmple, had my eye on this one and I can't tell much if it does have that kind of support
