Hi guys,

I have a show coming up and I have some videos in QuickTime .mov format that go along with my music that I want to play behind me while I play.  I play the videos on an iPhone which I connect via a Lightning to HDMI adapter and run either to a projector or connect to a TV/display.

Is there an app you are aware of in which I can create a video playlist for the set of videos I want to use for a particular gig and allow me to step through each one as I play? 

Currently I just have the files stored in iCloud and I have to open each video manually and consequently the audience will see the contents of the iCloud folder and my actions to select and open each video.  I am looking for a way for things to be more professional and seamless.

Thanks in advance!

Chris

Great...thanks.  I tried the VLC and the Infuse apps and I like Infuse the best.  VLC seems generally okay, but it seems to have a bug in that it will not pause between videos even when that option is enabled in the settings.  I checked the VLC forum and someone else inquired about that several weeks ago, so apparently it is still unresolved.
