Random Clip Player from file

[AKA Lazarus]

I'm sure this has already been thought of or even created but worth the ask. Is there a plugin/script that I can use to play a random clip from a file of clips every X seconds or minutes? I would like to play some clips on my break screen so my audience isn't just sitting there waiting for me to come back, but I don't want to fix them into a whole video as they would see the same ones over and over. Any help is great, thanks!

The Advanced Scene Switcher plugin has a function for that (and a whole lot more!):

Advanced Scene Switcher

This plugin will allow you to automate various tasks using "Macros". Macros consist of a list of conditions under which a list of actions will be performed. Examples and guides can be found in the wiki. Feel free to contribute! If you run...

obsproject.com

It uses Macros, which watch for a trigger that you specify, and then do something. One of those things is Random, which picks one out of a list of other Macros that you give it, and runs it without its trigger having been met.

So you set up all of those other Macros to do whatever you want, with no triggers of their own, put them all into the Random list, and set the Random one for whatever trigger you want.
