Agreed. Freevo isn't quite right for you. A better soplution would be for you to write some custom scripts. Assuming MPlayer dies after the end of a video file, it would be easy to incrementally play files from a list. The list could be generated daily via a cron job. It would be easy to implement another script to respawn the first script if it dies, etc. You could get some really good up times with this approach. In fact, with the help of MPlayer this could all be done in bash scripting.

It's probably not what you want, even though you could do that. It would probably be simpler just to write a script that calls mplayer out of cron or something. The main advantage of Freevo is tying music, video and recording together so you (and your non-technical significant other :) can use it easily with a remote.
