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](http://wowza/myApplication/smil:%7Bdate%7D.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.
