File extension behaviour between releases

[CosterMK]

We are currently using a mix of 2.0.7 & 2.1.0 and it would be nice to standardise our installations. We’ve produced an in house playout system which has been hardcoded to use the full file name plus the extension when playing out media clips and images, for example, test.mp4 or promo.mov.

This is what 2.0.7 expects but 2.1.0 requires the file name only. Does anyone know a fix or workaround to get 2.1.0 or above to accept a play command with file extension?

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to update or change the playout software at this point.
