Class: FileManager

Addon#FileManager(source)

new FileManager(source)

Allows for fast switching between a prefefined list of files (or 'sets' )

The filemanager allows you to load up a large number of video files and attach them to a VideoSource.

A 'set' is simply a .json file, with an array with sources like so:

 [
  "https://some.domain.com/space/filename_1.mp4",
  "https://some.domain.com/space/filename_2.mp4",
  "https://some.domain.com/space/filename_3.mp4",
  "https://some.domain.com/space/filename_4.mp4",
  "https://some.domain.com/space/filename_5.mp4",
  "https://some.domain.com/space/filename_6.mp4",
 ]

if you use streamable.com, that lets you upload files for free, you can use
the route for that, with the streamable id

 [
  "/streamable/39xt5t",
  "/streamable/99gag3",
  "/streamable/vwg6r2",
  "/streamable/jbeixg",
  "/streamable/8h2r0u"
 ]
