So I love plex I use it at home to watch all my videos and movies.  But one thing I would love is a random button, just a button in a section that you can hit that would randomly play a tv show or movie.  I usually leave plex running a show for white noise during the day, so just having a randomize button to mix up the shows is something I would love to see. Thanks, Praxis123  (apologies if this is wrong place for this) ---
