1. I'm looking to replace my brightsign digital signage and have it run off Resolume. Wondering if I could have some kind of layer router to play a specific layer based on whatever day of the week using the system time.
2. Further is it possible to have Resolume play multiple files using one clip. Let me explain in more detail. Id like to see if I can drag some kind of source into a clip slot and have Resolume go play all media in folder C:\Users\visua\Desktop

Re: Scheduler
For the first thing you want:
If you're just looking to play something different depending on the day of the week, the easiest way would be to send OSC commands based on system time. Just write a small script (Python, Node, whatever) that checks what day it is and sends the right OSC message to trigger a clip or layer.
Something like:
/composition/layers/2/clips/1/connect 1
You could schedule that with a cron job or run it on system startup, depending on how your signage is set up.
If you need more advanced control (like checking what’s playing, switching things based on feedback, etc.), then you’d want to look into the REST/WebSocket API. It’s a bit more complex, but gives you full access to the composition, clip states, effects, etc.
About the second part of your question; that's not possible a the moment. It's something we have a ticket for but no ETA. Would the autopilot work maybe?

Re: Scheduler
Thank you for the reply! I will look into this.
For the 2nd thing I was thinking it could be possible to use a synced Dropbox folder so as I drag in new content for the week into into said folder, Resolume would play the media in that folder.
Trying to get the same capabilities as a BrightSign or Zynchro scheduler built in Resolume. Ideally I just want to drag my media to a destination and let everything work automatically
