I wanna know how to randomize a video playing, so it does sometimes and it doesn’t.
So my current approach is randomize a number and if i pick a certain number, it will play. or turn on the VideoPlayer node.

random numbers sound good, why would you want to do it in a different way? is there something you’re not achieving with your current method?

There are two different questions:

How to randomize a number: you have to use the Random C# class. There is a good answer in StackOverflow here: c# - How To Make Selection Random Based On Percentage - Stack Overflow
How to stop or start a video. You have to use a VideoPlayer node in your scene. Then, attach a C# to it and use the Stop() and Play() methods.

Let me know if you need more help with this script. I guess you have to listen for the ‘finished’ signal in order to play it again or wait some time.
