Is there some reason why you can't simply use a playlist with autostart and repeat both set to true?

I agree with MisterNeutron. Define a playlist of videos and set autostart: ‘true’ and repeat: ‘true’. See http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1908212-using-embedded-playlists for details and code examples related to creating playlists.

The playlist can be a list of MP4 files to be played, or an RSS feed. Using an XML file does not appear to be one of the options.

A simple example: http://misterneutron.com/JW6videoPlaylist/

If your content is hosting by JW Platform, you can create a playlist of videos in your account dashboard. Next, embed that playlist in a player that has been set to autostart and repeat.

In that case, you would need to use the video ID for each video and build a playlist with multiple sources for each video. Please see http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1908212 for a code example of a playlist with multiple videos and multiple sources for each video. The URL templates for JW Platform content are:

HLS – http://content.jwplatform.com/manifests/[video_ID].m3u8
MP4 – http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/[video_ID].mp4

Looks like you have secure video downloads enabled in your JW Platform account > Settings. You will need to append the expiration date and signature to your MP4 URL. Please see http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1433647-token-signing-with-jw-platform for more details.
