How to create a playlist from existing short video files for hls and mpeg-dash?

Question

Nginx

Video files lasting several seconds are dynamically added to the server. The task is to organize their playback in one thread. In one of the previous questions, I was prompted about the use of HLS, and in the end I stumbled upon the nginx-rtmp module. HLS, as it turned out, is not supported by all clients, and I learned more about MPEG-DASH. But in all the examples that I looked at, there is a split into a playlist of one large video file. The question remains how to create a playlist for existing short videos, as well as when adding a new video to the server, add it to the playlist. Or maybe there is another solution to the problem?

Answer 1

well, how would it turn out only from javascript to switch to the next video

<script type="text/javascript">
var nextVideo = "path/of/next/video.mp4";
var videoPlayer = document.getElementById('videoPlayer');
videoPlayer.onended = function(){
    videoPlayer.src = nextVideo;
}
</script>
<video id="videoPlayer" src="path/of/current/video.mp4" autoplay autobuffer controls />
