How Advert Feeds are Downloaded
The Advert Plugin has multiple Feed Interfaces, one for each advert feed source e.g. Doohad, ClearChannel, etc.
- A Feed Interface downloads the feed (text, media, schedule) to the Never Send\Adverts\{pluginname}\ folder.
- {pluginname} is set in the plugin's configs file
- E.g. name="BannerAds"
- This means multiple Advert Plugins can have different feed data without the risk of files overwriting each other.
- This downloaded feed is then converted to our own common feed format.
- And the common feed is played by the Advert Plugin.
- NOTE: All Feed Interfaces of documented in the code files.
