Enqueuing JPGs

[Ray Cathode]

Hi all. First post, long time VLC lover.

I have a large ultra HD screen which runs a VLC playlist on a loop all day, as a quick and dirty digital signage solution.

The playlist consists of JPG files which play happily. I want to be able to refresh this playlist with the updated directory on VLC starting in the morning. Video files enqueue no problem, but a folder full of JPGs doesn't load into the playlist. I'm using the line in the playlist file as follows:

Code: Select all

<location>directory:///C:\Users\gm-03\Desktop\TB VIS Screens</location>

I'm on Win 7 and VLC 2.2.1. Any ideas how to make VLC treat JPGs like other media in this case?

Cheers!
