I recently installed Camelot (XBMCLive) and I like the revamped settings pages.
I attempted to change my RSS feed to SMH (Sydney Morning Herald)
http://feeds.smh.com.au/rssheadlines/top.xml
Looking at the Wiki, the pages are fairly out of date, with links telling me RssFeeds.xml file in the home directory.
This is fairly straight forward, when you have another PC on your network and putty.exe installed. Or when you have a keyboard attached to your HTPC.
I DONT have a keyboard in my living room, and I believe that if you need a kb and/or a mouse in the lounge room you have failed.
Can we please have an interface to change the RSS feeds?
and/or
Host a webservice at xbmc.org
When a user manually enters a personal RSS link, have the URL submitted anonymously to the webservice.
When a user navigates to the RSS gui, they can manually type their own, or have XBMC 'lookup' the webservice to see a list of the top 20 RSS feeds that other XBMC users are using.
most users would then never have to use putty or a keyboard or even look up their obscure URL to a RSS feed ever again.
Thoughts?
