Hi all! I wonder if there is any way to create an input in vMix that can play videofiles in a specific folder, regardless of what their filenames are as long as they are in a valid format. Usecase is to make it fast and easy to play videos in an ongoing live broadcast whithout having to browse or name files. Just throw them in a folder and cut to the input to play them. Maybe some magic can be done with companion, streamdeck and api?
Thanks in advance for any input!

Have you tried a list input with a playlist for example.

This is sort of what I would like to avoid. Just drop files in a folder and the input will automatically play them next time i cut to it.
