I’m trying to make a TV where Roblox videos randomly cycle however after 1-5 videos it always freezes and gets stuck permamently.

local videoFrame = game.Workspace["Meshes/1_SM_TV7"].SurfaceGui["Ocean Coastline"]

local Videos = {"rbxassetid://5608268502:", "rbxassetid://5670802294", "rbxassetid://5608321996", "rbxassetid://5608410985",
    "rbxassetid://5608360493", "rbxassetid://5670824523", "rbxassetid://5608327482", "rbxassetid://5608359401",
    "rbxassetid://5670809466", "rbxassetid://5608403837", "rbxassetid://5608333583", "rbxassetid://5608369138",
    "rbxassetid://5608349310"}

videoFrame.Looped = false
videoFrame.Volume = 0

local currentVideo = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrentVideo

while true do
    
    randomVideo = math.random(1,#Videos)
    currentVideo.Value = "..."
    
    task.wait()
    
    currentVideo.Value = Videos[randomVideo]
    
    videoFrame.Video = currentVideo.Value
    videoFrame.Playing = true
    
    while not videoFrame.IsLoaded do
        task.wait()
    end
    
    videoFrame:Play()
    
    videoFrame.Ended:Wait()
end```

Instead of waiting for the video’s Ended connection to activate try waiting for the video to end manually, by getting video length using videoFrame.TimeLength:

-- videoFrame.Ended:Wait()
task.wait(videoFrame.TimeLength)

Sadly this didn’t work either + I was looking for a way to automate this since there’s around 20 videos and I want to add more :confused:

It’s very strange that it didn’t work for you.
The Ended connection didn’t work for every video i tried, but manual waiting worked on my place when it was playing arsenal videos.
The script’s logic seems alright, but i don’t understand the meaning of setting Playing to true and the activating :Play() three lines after that.
Btw some videos are not loading at all for me.

Maybe one of your videos is not loading? You have a loop to wait for something to load, maybe it’s getting stuck there.

The thing is that it happens way too often. Like 3/4 of the vids would have to not load if that’s the case.
