Here I am again around the holiday making small tweaks to the maintenance program. With the weather turning cold and dark, the options are more limited so naturally I turn to sharpening some coding skills.
I decided it was time to update the maintenance program. Up until now, I had a small .net job that would scan once a day for new videos and add them to the database. This worked well for me but occasionally I decided to re-organize how they are stored or something similar.
With the new changes, I am now deleting files that don’t exist from the database as well as adding in new ones.
Small potatoes I know but still useful. I also made some changes to the database in order to keep track of what each station is playing. I hope to build out a Mongo database someday soon to track stats. Why? I don’t know any other reason than to just work with Mongo a little more.
More to come…
