Dmitry,
I just cannot work out how to use the macro commands with the Event Scheduler. Can you please help ?
Basically I want to create an ongoing daily 3 hour breakfast show:
1. Use the Playlist Generator Pro to make up 42 x 50 minute breakfast playlists (42 x 50 minute breakfast playlists represents 14 days x 3 hours per day - with no repeats)
2. Using a DOS batch file increment or rotate the playlists so that Breakfast_001, Breakfast_002 and Breakfast_003 are fresh each morning from the collection of 42 static breakfast playlists. I am doing this now and have the DOS script under control.
3. Using the Event Scheduler and the macro commands in the format ?yyyy-?mm-?dd.m3u? create a strategy to use a single Scheduled Event to cover the 3 hours of breakfast for 7 days a week - done this way to reduce the number of scheduled entries needed and to keep it simple.
I'm assuming that I can create a single Scheduled Event that will execute at 6am, 7am, and 8am to pull in the appropriate static playlist which will be stored in a form similar to: ?yyyy-?mm-?dd.m3u
I'm also assuming that I will have to rename 3 of my static breakfast playlists in some way similar to this example:
Breakfast_001 > ?yyyy-?mm-?dd.m3u
Breakfast_002 > ?yyyy-?mm-?dd.m3u
Breakfast_003 > ?yyyy-?mm-?dd.m3u
Can you tell me how to do this ?
Once I have this one working I will then use the same concept for other time slots during the day and night.
Thanks in advance, Jamie C.
