Project Description:

Brief:
To build a system by which all movies placed into a certain folder on our server appear as a slideshow at a certain URL. This should be a fully automated process as we only want to add/delete the files in the folder and have the slideshow automatically refresh to show these changes.

For example:

4 movies >
movie1.mov
movie2.mov
movie3.mov
movie4.mov

all stored in a folder on our server.
So these should play looping in a continuous slideshow that can be viewed at a certain URL. We want to ensure that this uses as little bandwidth as possible so are keen to hear your ideas.

If we replace movie2.mov with newmovie.mov then the slideshow should automatically update itself to show this.

Stability is a must as this would be for a continual presentation that we are not always going to be present at to see any faults.

Please, when you bid, show your thoughts on how you would approach it. We're not looking for you to give away your secrets so we can steal them, we just want to see who is the best candidate for the job rather than sifting through 50 'pick me' comments.

Please get in touch for more info and ask as many questions and you like.
Thanks,
Adam

FURTHER NOTE:
The number of movies in the folder would vary from time to time. There may be only 5 at the start but we may need to increase this to 30. So solution needs to be flexible and able to automatically recognise these changes. Also, want to have different file names for each movie, not just 1-30 or 1-10 etc. Please message us for any additional clarification.
