====== Random Playlist ======

With the magic of sql active playlist we can make a few random playlists for your needs.

Here are a few activesql playlists that do some randomness. Note you can change the where part to say only certain emulators and limit the # of games to return.

Basic random list that changes each time you go into/out of playlist. uses all games and limits 10
<code>

Select * from Games where visible=1 order by random() limit 10

</code>

===== Daily Random Playlist =====

Lets say you want the same random playlist for day. So random tables will be different each 24 hours.

<code>
select *,cast(strftime('%f',dateadded) as float)*gameid*gameid*cast(strftime('%d%m','now') as int)%(548664) as seed from games where visible=1 order by seed limit 10

</code>

===== Weekly Random Playlist =====

Lets say you want the same random playlist for the week. So random tables will be different each week;

<code>
select *,cast(strftime('%f',dateadded) as float)*gameid*gameid*cast(strftime('%W','now') as int)%(548664) as seed from games where visible=1 order by seed limit 10

</code>


===== Monthly Random Playlist =====

And lastly for a monthly random playlist

<code>
select *,cast(strftime('%f',dateadded) as float)*gameid*gameid*cast(strftime('%m%Y','now') as int)%(548664) as seed from games where visible=1 order by seed limit 10

</code>

if you'd like to filter which emulators then you would need to find the EMUID #. (get that from emulator setup field)

<code>
Select * from Games where visible=1 AND EmuID in (1,3) order by random() Limit 5

</code>

That will grab random from emulators 1 or 3, and grab 5 tables in total.
