randomly play videos through Roku?

[gorcorps]

I basically want to emulate watching TV with shows I've already ripped to my NAS. I run Plex already but it doesn't seem like there's a way to randomly play videos in any way (and I preferably would like to play randomly from a playlist). Is there any way to do this using anything available on the Roku? I'm not tied to Plex in case XBMC offers this.

I also don't think anything is different on the Fire TV as it should be the same apps, but I wouldn't mind getting one if things are different on that.

Doesn't Plex have a queue feature? iirc you create it on the server and then clients can access it. But not sure if you can randomize the play...

So basically making your own TV channel off a playlist, something like this:
