This work for me :)

<video width="256" height="192"  id="myVideo" controls autoplay>
    <source src="video/video1.mp4" id="mp4Source" type="video/mp4">
    Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

<script type='text/javascript'>
   var count=1;
   var player=document.getElementById('myVideo');
   var mp4Vid = document.getElementById('mp4Source');
   player.addEventListener('ended',myHandler,false);

   function myHandler(e)
   {

      if(!e) 
      {
         e = window.event; 
      }
      count++;
      $(mp4Vid).attr('src', "video/video"+count+".mp4");
      player.load();
      player.play();
   }

</script>

I am playing videos one after another in following code,

<html>
<body>
    <video src="videos/video1.mp4" id="myVideo" autoplay>
        video not supported
    </video>
</body>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
        var count=1;
    var player=document.getElementById('myVideo');
    player.addEventListener('ended',myHandler,false);

    function myHandler(e) {
        if(!e) 
        { e = window.event; }
        count++;
        player.src="videos/video"+count+".mp4";
        }
</script>

Now, my question is, There are many video files having different name (in remote directory) which is on server and I don't know name of all files. So how to make their queue and play one after another using JavaScript??

This works very nicely. Just that I have to modify a little because I am using Vue.js

not sure why you used JQuery on just that one line: $(mp4Vid).attr('src', "video/video"+count+".mp4"); can be mp4Vid.setAttribute("src","video/video"+count+".mp4");

Problem here, at least in react. Is the media is redownloaded. Have yet to find a solution that doesn't involve creating individual video tags
