Really hoping to make this possible in VLC (2.1.0) or Quicktime (10.4) at a Mac:

  1. Play (lets say) 5 films
  2. Each film should stop playing at the end
  3. Than by a so called hotkey the next film should start playing
  4. At the end (number 5), it should start again at number 1
  5. All in full screen

Is the possible? Reaaaally wanna know!!

And if not in VLC/Quicktime, in which player would it be possible? (and if I switch to PC?)

Very greatfull for any help!

I guess it would involved writing a bash script, using a while loop waiting for inputs to stop.

while :
do
    vlc -f --play-and-exit /path/to/film_1.avi
    vlc -f --play-and-exit /path/to/film_2.avi
    vlc -f --play-and-exit /path/to/film_3.avi
    vlc -f --play-and-exit /path/to/film_4.avi
    vlc -f --play-and-exit /path/to/film_5.avi

done

If you hit CTLR+C, it will end the current video and start the next one. To exit, you have to close the terminal. There might be a more elegant solution, like a while loop waiting for an input to stop.

EDIT

one-liner that can be run in a terminal :

while :; do vlc -f --play-and-exit /path/to/film_1.avi;vlc -f --play-and-exit /path/to/film_2.avi;vlc -f --play-and-exit /path/to/film_3.avi;vlc -f --play-and-exit /path/to/film_4.avi;vlc -f --play-and-exit /path/to/film_5.avi;done

Explanation

  • while : equivalent to while true, infinite loop
  • -f full screen option
  • --play-and-exit exit vlc after playing vidéo
