not super important or even important. if its that important use playlists as you said. but why would you want this?

no, it is super important. at least to me. i have a large collection of music clips. i'd like to be able to click a clip, watch it, and then not have silence while whoevers operating xbmc digs through to look for the next one they want to listen to. yeah, i know you can use a playlist, but its not quite the same. you can use playlists in audio, but you still have autoplay next item, because its needed. same thing for music clips.

just add your video extensions to the music window if you want them.

they are music clips, afterall.

diagdave, i do know how to use the playlist feature. buts it's just not feasible with the size of my collection. i have about 1000 music clips. thats a big playlist. but the real problem is that i use file view, with artist folders, album folders, then the actual clip is only named as the title of the song. it's pretty hard to know whats what when you've got 1000 music clips on a list, and no idea which artist or album its from. just the track names.

jmarshall, i'll try with adding the vid extensions to the music window, but i dont think it will work as i want it to, considering i use library view for music, and i want to keep clips and tracks separated. i really like the way i have everything setup now, except for the autoplay in videos.

i've seen several threads all asking for autoplay in videos, but so far nothings happened. i do realise that you cant possibly implement everything that people ask for, but i'm wondering if no-ones done this because its difficult to implement. i do know a bit about programming (vb programmer), but not about xdk. to me it seems that if it can be done for music, it shouldnt be hard to copy the basics and manipulate it for videos. maybe its time i got off my ass and acquired xdk so i can start playing with it myself.

yep, best start playing yourself.

it's trivial to implement - the reason it hasn't been done is because for most things you definitely do not want autoplay (movies, and most videos over about 10 minutes).

music videos are the exception - they imo should be treated with music, but the problem as always is the lack of metadata with any video files.

maybe once the videos section is overhaulled (ie post 2.0) this will become easier to do in my videos.

cheers,
jonathan

xbmc can do auto play next item and repeat foloder in music play, but video play can't do it.

can auto play next item and repeat foloder in video play,it's so userful and easy to play movie cd1 and cd2 etc etc.

it's easy and better than stacked mode .

repeat foloder is useful to do a video slideshow.

video auto play next item is easy to xbmc developer but it's so useful.

Seems like noone is interested in implementing that, although it would be totally easy (was done before in music, basically copy+paste) and although many people here have posted their interest. Useful for Music Vids, for TV Episodes, for multiple discs,... I don't understand it.

For my part I have given up and added the video extensions to music in advanced settings. Had to add an additional folder level in My Music to select "normal" music or music videos...

I hope this "play next video" will be added some day.
