1) Custom RSS

It would be nice to have it so the RSS control could be overrided with a given URL.

This would allow me to provide not only the XBMC feed but also a RSS feed to our web site.

For example...

<control type="rss">
<description>rss feed</description>
<posx>255</posx>
<posy>382</posy>
<width>580</width>
<font>RSS_Feed</font>
<feedurl>http://www.teamblackbolt.co.uk/rss.php</feedurl>
<textcolor>99FFFFFF</textcolor>
<titlecolor>BBFFFFFF</titlecolor>
<headlinecolor>DDFFFFFF</headlinecolor>
</control>

2) Include File from web url

Also would it be possible so you could do a Include file from a web address. This would allow custom skin code to be downloaded from a website and inserted into the skin.

For example...

<include file="http://www.teamblackbolt.co.uk/SomeInclude.xml" />

This seems like a security issue, also I'm not sure you can replace a file that is currently in use by the skinning engine (though that thought may be left overs from the XBOX days -- not really sure).

I have noticed AEON does similar for a texture where it provides a URL to the texture and displays that in the skin. The include file method would do similar but obviously text. That way we can do things like custom scrolly messages or even news pages etc...

I dont see it being a problem as i dont want it to replace any files, just want it to read its contents as if it was on your drive.
