My Own Streaming Random Channel

At present I use Serviio to share my TV shows from my file server. It works great with both of my Samsung DLNA TV's.

What I would love, is a constant, random stream of video files from certain folders. In this way I could have my own TV channel! Does that make sense?

Lets say I have 'Everybody Loves Raymond' all series, all of 'King of Queens' and all of 'Cheers' and I wanted it to randomly stream any of these episodes, from any show, any season. (Generally I have 'Comedy Central' left on behind me while on my PC. This would be much better!)

Is this in any way possible?

You might be able to achieve this by having all the files in one folder, then going to the Folders category browse to the 'all-in'one' folder. Then it's up to the tv if it can play files as a playlist, possibly in a random order.

I'd really love to be able to use my media in the same way - random TV Channel, with perhaps an option to play a channel video or advert in between. I'd gladly pay for this as a premium feature. Also what about a channel logo that could be added to the video stream?
