This is a Simple, yet pretty much needed change that I’m sure is pretty easy to add when you have time…
I love the Pre-Roll feature and use it. What I do not like, is the fact I have to enter EVERY single video in a path. For one video, its great, Two random videos, its Meh. More then that, very tedious and time consuming. What if there are 50 pre-rolls you want to randomly play, Or 2 videos out of the 50 videos you want to randomly play?
As a programmer, I see a very simple solution that could be implemented pretty quick. USE the same format you have, comma as sequential and semicolon as random, except allow the use of PATHS without a file listed, so that way it would randomly use a file from the path. MULTIPLE Paths could be given - separated by semicolons or commas. A MIXTURE of paths and files could be used, also separated by Semicolons and commas.
Essentially, all I’m asking is to detect if the segment (Separated by comma or Semicolon) that you are looking at is a PATH only or PATH/FILE and act accordingly by the same rules you already have implemented…
Examples would be:
I want to play one file randomly from a path (Could be hundreds of pre-roll files):
/mnt/PathToAllPrerolls
I want to play a pre-roll I designed first and then a RANDOM Pre-roll in a path:
/mnt/MyPersonalPreroll.mp4,/mnt/PathToAllPrerolls
Or I want to play two, completely random pre-rolls from a path:
/mnt/PathToAllPrerolls,/mnt/PathToAllPrerolls
Or maybe I want to play my designed preroll then two completely random pre-rolls from a path:
/mnt/MyPersonalPreroll.mp4,/mnt/PathToAllPrerolls,/mnt/PathToAllPrerolls
These changes WOULD NOT effect people already using the feature, you would just be “building” upon what already exists.
I think you get the point.
Thank you.
