...why don't you use playlist from unauthorized?  It's included in pd- 
extended:  just remember that it's referenced as "unauthorized/ 
playlist"...so, you'd want to try something like:

[location /path/to/mov/directory<
|  [nmbr]
|  |
| [seek $1<
|/
[unauthorized/playlist mov 200 200]

...[seek < lets you cycle thru name list (with auto wraparound!), so  
just send a random number to it...
