Something like:
--------------------
loop until user stop
  fileX | stream
vlc stream
--------------------

The fileX could be supplied from a file containing all the video file
names in the sequence you prefer.

I am not really the one to explain this, I do not know if it is possible
and it is more like an idea to someone on the list being more capable of
evaluating this.  Have patience Raseel, someone might just figure it out.
