just make a text file that contains a list of files to play and give it the extension .m3u then point the json file at m3u file and it will play them in order. It also can be updated onthefly..
For instance:
playlist.m3u:
inside that file is just
c:\videos\video1.mp4
c:\videos\video2.mp4
and you can have as many lines as you want and you can keep adding lines as you need... It's actually how unreal media server does rmtp feeds to IIS and HLS..
Hi Mitchstein,
I tried doing this with a DP channel and it didn't work.
My text file was saved as playlist.m3u and looks like this:
http://mydomain.com/rokufiles/videos/video1.mp4
http://mydomain.com/rokufiles/videos/video2.mp4
http://mydomain.com/rokufiles/videos/video3.mp4
I am wondering what I have left out? Should there be comma's after each video? Should they be surrounded with quotes? Have you gotten this to work with a public facing channel?
Hi Tim,
Did you get yours to work? I'm going to attempt it.
