Variables

Hello everyone,
I am trying to set radio show to be load on the playlist automatically using variables, but i have some doubts about the right variable to use, I had try different things this last weeks but it did not work…
So, each file comes with the file name, number of the file, and the date:

1

and inside the file there is 4 blocs, with the name of the file, a number to show witch day of the week it is ( it goes from 1 to 5, to show Monday to Friday), plus block number:

2
2838×251 11.8 KB

In the end, it gives this path:
Z:\Programas de radio\Radio estudio Brasil\Amado Batista\AMADO_4062_04_04_2023\AMADO BATISTA 2 -BLOCO 1.mp3

So, i just don’t know how to enter the variable for the number of the file:

11

and also for the number to show witch day of the week it is:

22
22838×251 45.2 KB

I am trying to use it with an external item as a hour template:

3
3960×646 24.2 KB

4
4804×501 24 KB

For the rest it looks fine, if someone could help me it would be great,
Many thanks in advance
Julio

Hi Julio,

how about using four events with a different block number each?

For the week number, maybe @Torben might give a clue if it is possible to use runtime data in this context.

Hello,
Thanks for the response, yes, i was thinking about it, i did it for the top of the hour as it did not work as an hour template with external item, don’t get why… I think i will give a last try as it may be easier like this with the template, but otherwise, will do an event, also, i had try to edit the tiles, to remove some of the info, but it still did not work, but let’s see if it eventually can work,
Thanks again,
Julio
