Trying to give myself a bit of automation here.
My initial goal was to do this with central control.
So in my case we've got a few commercials. We'd like to advance through them playing one at a time. So if I've got a moment in the show I'd like to be able to press a single button and have the commercial play, then the next time I press the button the next commercial in the list plays. Easy.
Central control wasn't advancing to the next time. I suspect that's because of the below though.
In the list I've set a trigger oncompletion nextitem. This works until I hit the end of the list. Is there any way to have the list keep recycling, so if we've got 5 commercials, once 5 have played it starts back at the top of the list?
I thought auto first would accomplish this but that resets to the first in the list each time a video is played, so just plays the same one over and over again.

loop just loops the video over and over again. I suspected scripting might be able to do this, admittedly I'm not familiar with scripting vMix but it's on my list of things to get into. Fortunately,I do have quite a bit of a programming background.

Start a script OnTransitionOut that
- checks current name of list item (A)
- goes to next item
- checks new name of list item (B)
- if A=B goes to first item
