I’ve found how to play a sequence a quicktime movies with applescript. And I’ve found how to loop an individual movie.
What I can’t seem to find on the net is how to play movie1.mov, then movie2.mov, then movie3.move AND THEN go back to movie1.mov and play the whole sequence again and again. I appreciate anyone’s assistance.
set PlayList to {"movie1", "movie2", "movie3"}
repeat
repeat with PlayThis in PlayList
--Do your script using PlayThis
--This loops forever
--so command period in script to finish
end repeat
end repeat
Thanks, but I guess I’m too much of an applescript novice to understand how to incorporate that.
I did find a SMIL script that is supposed to do something similar:
My problem remains the same: the <<repeatCount=“indefinite”>> portion of this script doesn’t loop for me. QuickTime plays the sequence, stops at the end of the last movie (movie3.mov) and falls out of the fullscreen mode, then stops.
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
open "Macintosh HD:Users:user1:Desktop:movie1.mov"
open "Macintosh HD:Users:user1Desktop:movie2.mov"
open "Macintosh HD:Users:user1:Desktop:movie3.mov"
end tell
These open in their own windows - so in addition to the looping of the sequence, I would like the sequence to play in the same window.
