Default Firetank Feed Manager - Creating a Google Aprooved File

In the past I have used feed manager to create a shopping feed for google merchant it created an auto url http://mydomain.com/autofeed.php?XXXXXXXX which is constantly updated anytime a new product is uploaded

I had it set on google merchant to check that url once a week so all new products got updated weekly automatically. simple and easy.

It seems that google stopped allowing this see https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/1219255 specifically "Make sure that the feed URL points directly to your feed file in one of the supported file formats. Note that pointing to an HTML page of your website will cause the processing of your feed to fail."

If any one can please recommend a way to set up an automatic updating system that would create an acceptable file for google see this link supported file formats.

The firetank software help page gives you a couple options, but the directions are really not that clear, to me anyway.

Thanks in advance for any help!
