Playing videos one after another

Let's say I have 5 flv files that I want to play in a browser one after another.

Is it possible to do this without user intervention?

Is there a Jquery event that I could use to trigger the next flv to play?

Where do you call let’s say Video1.play method, is it a jQuery call or a Rails call? What are you using to play the flv files in the browser?

Since you can't actually play FLV files in a browser -- any browser -- you need a Flash wrapper to provide the controls and context. Have a hunt for a SWF wrapper that can take a list of FLVs rather than just a single FLV, and play them in order. This is a Flash problem, pure and simple.
