Using a link like this:
https://youtu.be/BxNpRi-ANWI?list=PL_PV1JilQxbgEv6zM9M105hrHfDZWls61&shuffle=119
I can link to a video in a playlist and activate shuffle. But there are two problems here:
- The shuffle order is always the same, since it's given a seed by the URL
- It always starts at a specific video – this could be solved, if that is possible, by providing an index instead of a particular video, since I regularly add new playlist elements to the beginning of it.
I have the above link as a bookmark for my music playlist, and would like to fix these issues. I'm using Google Chrome, an extension is also an option for me.

I was able to link my metal playlist with the following link. The same link starts the same playlist on different videos, depending on which video I put first
