url keeps on changing

this is a general question regarding MD.
there are some sites which keep on changing the download url every hour or so. To download from them I have to manually monitor the download.
Is there some way that MD can automatically get the new url and resume downloading as soon as a 404 error occurs if I tell it where the new url will be located?

eg:
www.abc.com/pavideos123/xyz.avi

Now the pavideos123 part changes to pavideos456 after 1 hour.
The new value of pavideos* is located at www.abc.com/members/fbnvideos.incl
Can MD get the new pavideos* value and resume the download when it gets a 404 error?

Thanks for looking into the question

Thank you guys for the reply.
I would just like to add one more thing.
If you open www.abc.com/members/fbnvideos.incl then it contains ONLY 1 line which is pavideos* and NOTHING ELSE.

Here is the source code of one such file:

** start**
pavideos231097992777
**end**
