BarkingLlama Roulette adds a simple shortcode and REST endpoint that selects a random YouTube video from a configured playlist and embeds it on your site.
Perfect for motivational cards as Shorts, “daily randomness” pages, or any curated playlist you want to keep fresh.
Features: 
* Shortcode: [llama_roulette] 
* REST endpoint: /wp-json/llama-roulette/v1/random 
* Playlist caching via transients to reduce YouTube API calls 
* Optional Privacy Enhanced Mode (youtube-nocookie embeds) 
* “Start Muted” setting for reliable autoplay
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin uses the YouTube Data API v3 (Google) to retrieve videos from the configured YouTube playlist so it can select and display a random video.
What data is sent and when: 
* The configured playlist ID (or playlist ID parsed from a provided playlist URL) is sent when the plugin requests playlist items. 
* The configured YouTube API key is sent with those API requests for authentication. 
* These requests occur when cached playlist data is missing or expired, or when playlist data must be refreshed.
Service provider: 
* Google / YouTube Data API v3

Cue makes it easy to create and manage beautiful, fully responsive audio playlists. Primarily built with music in mind, Cue can also be used for podcasts, sermons or to showcase voice over samples.
There’s no need to fiddle with XML, JSON, or FTP. Just upload audio files with the familiar WordPress Media Manager, then insert them into a playlist with the click of a button. Cue fetches metadata from uploaded files to automatically complete the title, artist, and length for each track.
It works on desktop, tablets, and other mobile devices.
