Often times, my girlfriend and I are stuck aimlessly spending hours looking through the list of content, not knowing what to watch.   I think it would be pretty awesome to enter a Category (Movies, or TV Shows) and have a button for RANDOM, where Plex would simply pick out a movie at random for us to watch. ---

This can be acheived with shuffle… What system are you using plex with? ---

> This can be acheived with shuffle.. > > What system are you using plex with? You mean Client? Either, Plex for IOS Plex Home Theater (Mac OSX) Plex Web --- [Edit1] Just found the Shuffle button on Plex Web. I feel like an idiot that I've never noticed this before. Can any one confirm if this exists on Plex HT or Plex for IOS? --- [Edit2] Can't seem to find the option on Plex for IOS, which is the client I primarily use. Am I missing something? ---

Shuffle on Video Playlists on PHT is not supported though. Feels like an omission more han anything else as the functionality is indeed baked in PHT for OS X on Music items. ---

This feature is NOT on the either the PLex preview or the regular plex app for Roku. I wish it was there. I have a huge collection! ---
