RandomPlayer
Read full descriptionHide full description
We all have that library — hundreds of videos saved to a network share, most of them untouched since the day they were added. RandomPlayer connects to your SMB, NFS, or WebDAV shares, finds every video buried in those folders, and shuffles them into a playlist you didn't know you needed. No menus to scroll through. No decision fatigue. Just press play and let your own collection surprise you. RandomPlayer Pro unlocks unlimited shares, offline downloads, and the full browse experience — one purchase across all your devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Shrinkly at every 2 weeks against RandomPlayer's every 6 weeks. Shrinkly also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.1). RandomPlayer's advantage is device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
