Dynamic Generic SMIL

hi there,
is it possible to create a generic smil for vod:

we are using following folder structure:
/vod/20220401/20220401_1080p.mp4
/vod/20220401/20220401_720p.mp4
/vod/20220401/20220401_540p.mp4
/vod/20220401/20220401_320p.mp4
/vod/20220401/20220401.srt

we want to access to folders by date like
http://wowza/myApplication/smil:{date}.smil/playlist.m3u8

I don’t know of a way to create this dynamic other than if you’d develop a custom plug-in. An alternative would be to include the creation of SMIL in your workflow; e.g. when you do the transcoding, or when you upload the files to your server, have a trigger that creates the SMIL file and places it in the same folder.
