.....and cutting the ticker off so that the audio box (album picture) doesn't go over it would be great too......

just change the posx value from 40 to 140 on the media center skin's home.xml

i tried to add a rss 2.0 stream, though this completely locked the xbmc interface at startup...

filesize of the xml is only about 12k, so that should be no problem at all...

i guess the parser isn't able to parse rss 2.0 streams?

[Butcher]

i don't think it can, no.

[thebeast]

couldn't there be a check, if the rss is 2.0, and then do something other than freezing?

just change the posx value from 40 to 140 on the media center skin's home.xml

did nothing for the speed of the feed... i looks shorter though

butcher(or runtime), correct me if i am wrong, but i don't think the rss code is specific to version of rss.

i've seen the hang as well, and i thought maybe it had to do with rss feeds that don't have an extension on the filename, such as: http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/sports

i can't test right now, but would be neat to try and save that rss feed locally and rename to .xml or .rss and then stream it locally from your pc: http://192.168.0.1/sports.xml (assuming you have a webserver).

i would try and test that, but can't at this moment.

i might have time to try that this weekend...

what i did find was a 0.91 rss feed, which only showed it's title, and none of the headlines... is there any documentation on the rss parser?

[ukbootleg]

is it possible to change the speed of the ticker tho?

[erik_do]

anyone gotten the rss feed to work with other formats than .xml?

i for one need it to work with .php and this without a filename (/) would be nice aswell.

any ideas?
