Hello, i'm complete new to xbmc, linux etc. So i hope someone can help me out with this problem. I have a script that plays automaticly a video playlist when i start xbmc. Now i want to show the rss feeds as overlay over the video's. Can someone explain me how ik can do that?
You need to adjust VideoFullScreen.xml to show you the RSS...
The code for it can be found at the nearly end of Home.xml...
Just search for RSS in Home.xml...
If you have more questions, just ask...

I found the following code for rss:
<control type="group">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>33r</posy>
<visible>system.getbool(lookandfeel.enablerssfeeds)</visible>
<include>Window_OpenClose_Animation</include>
<control type="rss">
<description>RSS feed</description>
<posx>100</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<height>30</height>
<width>1145</width>
<font>font12</font>
<urlset>1</urlset>
<textcolor>blue</textcolor>
<titlecolor>blue</titlecolor>
<headlinecolor>white</headlinecolor>
</control>
<control type="image">
<description>RSS background</description>
<posx>1250</posx>
<posy>2</posy>
<width>24</width>
<height>24</height>
<texture>icon-rss.png</texture>
</control>
</control>
Where exactly do i need to place it? I tried different places in videofullscreen.xml document in the 720p folder of confluence. But nothing happends.
Nice, it works! I hope i dont ask to much but can you make it perfect:
- Rss feeds in the bottom of the page (like the original)
- ??.png with a height of 35 for the background of the rss (i make gradient.png later so it looks like a rss bar)
- Weather, date and time also on screen on same place as the original
That would be perfect!
I get a black screen when paste it over the existing file. Only when i hit esc i see the video in the background.
I thrown Ubunty in the recycle bin, doesnt support my graphic card 100%
Does anything change by switch to windows? Little thing; there is a kind of gradient over de rss text, you know why?

Doesn't matter...this change is not platform specific

Ouh...you might change the rss control with the grphics control below to have it vice versa...

Great, works.
Now i want to change that underlaying gradient into a more black bar. But how do i change skin.confluence/media/Textures.xbt
that gradient is located in this file?!
Yes gradient is in there...you can simply copy a new PNG into the media directory and your good to go...
Hi,
This was a lifesaver, but here is a tiny trick quesion. What if I want it to show during specific times? Or every x minutes?
Thanks
Need to check if you can set a visible condition based on playback time or system time
