Hi, I apologize for what is probably a noob question but that's where I am. I've searched the forums and haven;t found an answer for what I'm looking for. I am working on a project that requires a patch that can play back a multiple QT video files (all one minute videos, all in one folder) in random sequential order, back to back. I've watched and read through a lot of tutorials--and pan to continue doing so-- but so far I havent found anything that helps direct me towards the answer I need for this particular project. Any pointers or reference materials that you could point me to would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Here ya go...shouldn't have done this much work for you, but figured I could use it eventually:

Thank you! I'll go work with this now. I really appreciate the help.

I'm not going to say I completely understand it, but I have an idea of how the patch is working and it seems to be performing perfectly! I can not thank you enough! I truly appreciate your help Laserpilot!

You can add a [dropfile] and use the populate feature of the [umenu] to get automatically the number of movies in the folder. Note that I use here the filtering features of [umenu] to display only movie files (in case other files are in the dropped folder, they don't show up in the menu).

if you didn't want files to play randomly. . . how would the patch be different?
