      I also would like to he able to shuffle on the roku tv. I have almost a 1000 song playlist and like to listen and watch while I do other stuff. Don't understand why there is a play all button but not shuffle. Casting doesn't always work for me or it lags when it does. Please fix this in the app.

        Thanks for the post.

        For more information about that channel's features and functionality as well as feature requests, you'll want to contact Youtube support directly to inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves.

      This does not solve the problem, RokuDanny. This does not even give us the option to let YouTube know there is a problem. Casting does not solve the problem either because that means I have to use my phone when I would just like to shuffle some music videos in the background while I do other things. Roku and YouTube need to get together and figure out why this is an issue and fix it.

      to shuffle music from youtube have your roku tv at the home screen make sure your WiFi is on both devices such as your phone ( laptop or tablet unknown specifically I personally use phone for roku tv) open youtube music or video ,play your selected playlist on shuffle ,then you should be able to cast your shuffled playlist from the app on your phone; you need the roku tv remote app to do this if this doesn't work for you I can try troubleshooting a specific problem if you reply to this comment I'll check back in a week today is Nov 8 20 I'll see ya later love flotaku13 ✌️

        Thanks! This worked for me on an iPhone and using the Link with TV code option on my Roku TV.
