Pointing to multiple folders

Our content sits in multiple folders and they get created on the fly. For instance, we have a multimedia/1001 folder with a file called 1001.flv. When we create a new flv, it automatically gets named the next in line a new folder under multimedia is created. Thus we would end up having multimedia/1002/1002.flv.

Is there a way I can point to simply the multimedia folder by itself without having to manually tell it to look at each newly created folder that gets created?

    Yes, It is fairly possible. Look for how FMS3's sample VOD services use VOD_DIR as virtual directory.
    If you point your virtual directory to multimedia/. The stream name to play would become.
    for multimedia/1002/1002.flv. --- 1002/1002
    for multimedia/1002/1002.mp3 --> mp3:1002/1002


    Depending upon the name you might have a add the virtual directory name as prefix in the stream name. Refer to documentations for more.
