# Looping Videos until manually advanced

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-10-29)

I have 90 individual video files. I would like each individual file to loop itself, until I manually advance to the next file.

We are conducting an auction of 90 items. We have a video of each item. I want the item being sold to continue to be displayed until the auctioneer sells it and begins the next item.

Any suggestions?
