English mAirList 5.x

Hey

Before i screw things up with a frienda Mairlist5 i would like to know a nice way to do this.

Every day he will be (automatic via mairlist downloading a file) however this file is generated in a day number. What im asking for is like in (php script you can set date(“z”) to echo out number of day in a year it is.

Could this be done in (downloading) within mairlist for example
Http://server.domain.se/filefolder/track$variabel(“z”).mp3

Mairlist will then read the variable and output for example
Http://server.domain.se/filefolder/track128.mp3

if this is possible we would find this handy.

Hi,

I would not consider using the playoutsystem to perform such tasks, but a dedicated PC on the network doing this.
Usually the files for the playoutsystem do not reside on its PC, but are stored on a network server.

If your file contains a datecode like yyyymmddhh or whatever, consider using our HTTP-downloader that can be found in our software section of the webpage. The downloader is simply fired via scheduled task manager.

I recently checked what kind of a file it is and Its a file hosted at a FTP with restrictions.

So i need something that can access a FTP server (username/Password) and if it can handle %20(spaces) links it would be great because for some reason the showhost have it at a folder with blank spaces.

Does http downloader work for FTP too?

Maybe you can try FTPVoyager (http://www.serv-u.com/ftpvoyager.asp): you can schedule download and if the download is completed, you can schedule other tasks like copying or renaming the downloaded files.
