I have a video collection (place in the server filesystem) which is growing every minute. I want to simulate a live stream from this video collection and if the stream reaches the end of the videos it should start form the first one again.

I know how to repeat a single video and how to play videos from static video collection but I have no idea how do it with this dynamic collection.

You will need a shell script, FFmpeg does not read directories. Carl Eugen ==================================== brother if you want a example of a script , this might help loops through a dir of mov and makes mp4 #!/bin/bash SrcDir=/path to ehere your mov are dest=/path to where you want your mp4 to go cd $SrcDir for f in *.mov ; do ffmpeg -i $SrcDir/$f < your command goods here > $dest/${f%.*}.mp4 done
