Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use VLC for a slideshow. Therefor I'm tryng to start it from the command line with parameters to play all JPGs/PNGs in a folder and to loop.
Is this possible? Unfortunately this is not working. The documentation doesn't provide any help. I cannot create a playlist, because the content of the folder changes ever day and I want his slideshow to be automated.
Any idea, how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, you can't reload the directory like that in the playlist, it's expanded afterward, but you can change the content of the playlist through another control interface like http, so make your own update.

Is there any way to make vlc play a slideshow of photos from a folder on a DLNA server?
