This addon (or something like it at least) has been around for 10 years at least for Kodi. https://github.com/PseudoTV/PseudoTV_Live

Probably the best channel I found was playing a random comedy from a list you provide. You could have it follow release order be random if you want. Most media players have a similar feature though usually called something like a smart Playlist, and that really solves most of the issue.

It is an interesting problem though, but also probably a very real sign that you really need to find a hobby.

A strange sentiment to find on this website.

I considered using something like that, and I did indeed have a mostly functional prototype built just using VLC and its playlist management features, but I wanted something that had as few dependencies as possible as well as something where I could draw/program any on-screen graphics I wanted without too much hassle.

Also, writing niche software that nobody else will use basically is my hobby, so mission accomplished :)
