Hi

My streaming server runs a webcam (see signature for URI). I want to
have a backlog of 2 or 3 days of video. At my current bitrate, this will
take up about 20 Gb of space per day. Since I have apr. 100 Gb free,
this should not be a problem.

What is a problem though, is that I cannot find out how to have the
Archive data writer create new files every hour.
I can use filenames like <Y><m><d><H>.asf that works, but it is not
dynamically adjusted :(
You have to restart the encoder or pub.point to have it parse this
again :((

What is the recommended way of scripting this (if possible at all)?
