I'm in communication with Dave right now, I'll get something worked out.
My problem now is not having a full understanding of how amb-ux works or
how rdcatch or dropboxes work, though that knowledge is expanding by the
minute and I'll be on to something soon.

Hey Nathan,
On my day job, I am the originator of one of the programs AmbOs
distributes. So I asked them if the cart chunk application I use to
encode could be incorporated into Linux for your purpose. Here's the
response I got.
"/although the present Linux version, Amb-UX, doesn't have cart chunk
manipulation capability, the files do still contain the Cart
Chunk..You (or the automation vendor) could write a Cart Chunk
module so the automation could decode..//We'll also chew on it during
our weekly developer call.."/
So, we'll see what they come up with.

They come from our AMR-100 ( http://www.amb-os.com/ambos.html ) which
is an SFTP receiver. the program amb-ux transfers them from the
amr-100 to /var/amb-ux. I have contacted the person who wrote amb-ux
to find out more about how often the files are transferred and whether
they are one a day or will always come in a group....

Hi Nathan
How did you get the weeks worth of files initially?
Are they produced at your station or do you download them yourself?
I'm looking at the date format in the file name. If I interpret it
correctly it is
HCJB_BTC5_01-30-13_01-01
HCJB_BTC5_Month-Date-2DigitYear_RandomNumbers.MP2?
So you need to set up a script that runs 1 minute after
midnight... Probably using crontab...
#!/bin/bash
#Find out current date and make a variable
CURRENTDATE=`date +%m-%d-%g`
#Move file to the dropbox
mv /downloadedlocation/HCJB_BTC5_$CURRENTDATE_*.MP2
/yourdropboxlocation/HCJB_BTC5_$CURRENTDATE_*.MP2
#end script
Have the dropbox set to delete the contents and replace with
todays audio and that should work.
Many Thanks

OK, so I set this up with dropboxes, but the files come in
with a start
and end date that allows for three days to play, I need it to
only play
on one day and that day should be the date in the filename,
but looking
in the ROG it doesn't seem like there is a metadata pattern
for the
start/end date. I looked at a file in Adobe audition and can't
see that
range in any of the cart chunk or other data. where are these
dates
coming from and how do I fix them?
My dropbox path looks like this: /var/amb-ux/HCJB_BTC5*.MP2
The files are named like this HCJB_BTC5_01-30-13_01-01 and
upon creation
of the dropbox. there were 5 days worth of files in there.
Having looked at the wiki it seems to suggest using rdcatch
instead. how
do I use rdcatch to get a file from a local directory? really
seems like
dropbox would be the more appropriate tool? Did I miss the medata
pattern for start end date?
