I have a bunch of videos of various formats and images that I show on a web page. To make things easy on myself I wrote this to scan the folder where the videos sit and to display them in a way that makes sense. So this script reads the file list into an array and then sorts it by time (based on weeks in the year). Then I show the links arranged by folders for each week of the year. That folder is link and when clicked it shows/hides the videos for that week.
Enjoy
