The VideoLAN Forums

I am using VLC player in a digital signage situation. Each time the player is told to play I need it to automatically play the next track in a directory of 100 videos.
Is there any way to do this? Would appreciate any suggestions?

Hello pkukura,

can you explain what you want to do ?

I do not understand what you mean with "is told to play".

Each time the player is told to play I need it to automatically play the next track in a directory of 100 videos

In VLC you can open a folder and press the next button. There are a lot of possibilities to automate things. But you have to know what you want to do. In Linux you can use a shell script. In Windows you can use a batch script. You can also use the program mplayer in slave mode and send commands to it.
