Solving it the unix way:
So it's
ls -1to list the content of current directory (presumably where your pictures are), with one file per line, so we can then pipe it tosort, with the-Roption to sort randomly, then piping the result tosxiv, a lightweight image viewer available on most distro (I just checked, it's available on Debian). For its options :-fmeans it's fullscreen,-s fmakes it scale to fit the image on screen as well as possible,-S 5tells it to start in slideshow mode and change picture every 5 seconds, and-is to tell it to take the files list from stdin (thus from thelsandsortcommands).This won't work for videos, though, only pictures.
beautiful solution
