Do you have a suggestion? I'm not sure how an HTML code could deal with decoding a constantly changing folder of video files that need to be decoded and listed, without updating the code after every service.

    html code wouldn't deal it, the monkey adding files to the folder would deal with it :)

    It takes about a second to hit copy/paste to start copying files to the folder,

    Then 5-10 seconds per file to type up a link and description for each file

    Easier than learning to program right? :)

      For me, yes. But you have to understand that multiple people rotate in and out and will be in the audio/video room running the equipment. I can do what you are suggesting, but many of the men who will be recording sermons are not fluent in HTML or even that knowledgeable with computers. Asking them to cut and paste code into an HTML page could result in pages of the website becoming corrupted or even bring the whole site down if they were to open the wrong file by mistake. It's easier in the long run to make this process as "idiot proof" as possible by automating the entire process. Even running the software that encodes the sermons has been automated by means of an form application so that mistakes are highly unlikely.
