How can i play a spread of videos?

FileStreams filename pin is not spreadable and therefore only one file a time can be played back.

I need to play many video loops, one after the other. Each time I change the video, the playback stops for a while (about less than a second) and then the video starts. Is there a way to make the changing between videos smoother and with no stopping in the playback?

Switching between videos takes its time as all codecs and internal processing filters are reloaded each time a new video gets played.
It would be great to have some more experiences how avisynth scripts performs in this application in real-life situations.

Appending all clips after another in one big file and using Seek will be faster.

Looping Files

You can attach a frame delay to the duration and connect this to the end time pin, or you can type a number of seconds that is greater than the file time and this will also loop the file.

if there's no sound track in the video the Speed parameter will not work

using inspektor you can set the filestreams clock to System. probably that will make it work for streams without audiotrack

i have a stuttering problem playing a wmv file (8mbps, 1920x1080).
