Problem solved as best I can tell so far. I found a few solutions... Yes, those options for rdimport that you mention, Wayne are not in the published list. I used the enddate-offset option and it works great. However, I could not figure out the syntax for using --set-datetimes. Is there an updated list of options with how to use them for rdimport somewhere? Wayne, if you have a more complete list, would you mind sharing it?
The solution I chose uses rdimport in a script with a cron job to import the downloaded files from the amb-ux folder. I can easily offset the end date to make it equal the start date which accomplishes what we were doing manually. Another solution suggested was to use rdcatch which I am still playing with. It requires rdcatch to "download" the files from the amb-ux folder at a set time each day so that it assigns or makes available that file for the day, if I understand how it works. This does not suit us as well but I will keep trying ways to use it. The other option requires using a windows machine running the Amb-os GUI, to either change the files to wav (native MP2) and eliminate the cart chunk, then import them with the offset date desired, or it looks like one could leave them in MP2 and have them import at set times or replace file dates... not sure yet. The only disadvantage I see so far to what I am doing is that if we change our program selection, we will need to update the script to reflect the changes. I am assuming that the cartchunk dating will stay consistent from Amb-os. So far it has. The good thing is that this solution stays within linux with one simple script and runs on its own. We'll see how it goes.
