Hello,
I have a scheduled task to play one file a day from a folder in order. It works great. However, I need to add some files which will come earlier in the order based on file name. For example, let's say I have the following files in a folder...
2017-01.mp3
2017-02.mp3
2017-03.mp3
....
2017-99.mp3
When I set up the schedule it starts running through the folder and plays one file a day at a certain time. Now let's say that a couple months later I'm up to 2017-60.mp3 or so and I want to add the following files to the folder...
2016-01.mp3
2016-02.mp3
...
2016-99.mp3
What I would like the system to do is continue the next day by grabbing 2017-61.mp3 and keep going until the end, then when it gets to the last file in the folder, the next day it will start over at 2016-01.mp3
I am guessing that it probably works this way, but I can't really test it since we have a live station. Can anyone verify that this is how it will work? I'm basically wanting to make sure that the command to run through a folder in order will just use whatever is the next file based on filename, irregardless of when the file showed up in the folder.
Thanks for the help.
