Forgive me if it's something I just have missed!
I'm looking to be able to play all video files inside a given folder, similar to how you can set a source as an individual video file. My end goal is to be able to drop video files into a specified folder as a 'bin' of media that OBS will automatically cycle through, and when I add a new one the file gets automatically added into the rotation. Kind of like a radio station's cart machine, basically. Does OBS have a feature like this and, if not, does anyone have a very minimal workflow to accomplish this task? Thanks!

I know you can create/run a VLC playlist and it's not exactly what I want to do. I don't want to have to create and load a new playlist for every change.

Hi!
I will tag along on this.
I am looking after functionality that will play all the mp4 files in any given folder, starting with the oldest ones, when I activate a VLC video source pointing to this folder, in a scene. Atm I get it to work halfway. It will play all the files when i open the VLC video source properties and close it. But it will not play any new files added after this open and close routine.

I need this to create a simple highlight reel playback of the files saved with the instant replay-function that will activate by switching to a scene containing the VLC video source pointing to this folder - without having to reload the options.

I hope there´s a method or plugin that can help me solve this.
Thanks in advance for help and advice!
