Using RDCatch to download media, the wildcards are expanded with *the current values*. So, using date wildcards, you can download the episode for December 14th only *on December 14th*. One option is to code the *exact name* of the remote file in the RDCatch job, but this is what I would call "anti-automation".
As chris cottingham writes, and as far as I know, you'll need to use a facility external to Rivendell to do anything else. ~David On 12/17/20 5:50 PM, wa7skg wrote: > > No RSS feed.
