  • COMMUNICATING SHUFFLED MEDIA CONTENT
    Publication number: 20200264844
    Abstract: A method for communicating a defined order of a plurality of media content items, the method performed at a first computing device and comprising receiving a first reference to a plurality of media content items arranged in a first order, determining a seed for a shuffle algorithm that enables the shuffle algorithm to arrange the plurality of media content items in a second order, and sending the seed, along with a second reference to the plurality of media content items, to a second computing device.
