OK, so I set this up with dropboxes, but the files come in with a start and end date that allows for three days to play, I need it to only play on one day and that day should be the date in the filename, but looking in the ROG it doesn't seem like there is a metadata pattern for the start/end date. I looked at a file in Adobe audition and can't see that range in any of the cart chunk or other data. where are these dates coming from and how do I fix them?
My dropbox path looks like this: /var/amb-ux/HCJB_BTC5*.MP2 The files are named like this HCJB_BTC5_01-30-13_01-01 and upon creation of the dropbox. there were 5 days worth of files in there. Having looked at the wiki it seems to suggest using rdcatch instead. how do I use rdcatch to get a file from a local directory? really seems like dropbox would be the more appropriate tool? Did I miss the medata pattern for start end date? Nathaniel C.
