Hi All,
It's possible to use Local Rss Feed (local network) ?
Used Search to find something in "XBMC For Windows" without success.
Thx,
Dav.
Thanks for your reply, blittan.
Fisrt question :
So, if I understand you, I can use local adresse like this ?
Code:
<rssfeeds>
<set id="1">
<feed updateinterval="30">http://192.168.1.102/Feeds/rss.htm</feed>
</set>
</rssfeeds>
But Rss must be a xml file, not a htm file, no ?
And how to give the right folder on another Hard Drive (ex: "e:/XBMC_Feed/") ?
Second Question :
All my files Music, Video, etc ... are on my server : 192.168.1.100
Files are located on my hard drive "G:/Music", "G:/Video", ...
I would like to place my RSS file on the same place "G:/Feed".
I'm Running XBMC (for windows) from 192.168.1.102 and XBMC (for Xbox)from 192.168.1.75
How to read the same feed from two different location & system ?
How to
Me again !
What I have inside my XML file (Just to make a test)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>New movies arrived</title>
<link>http://www.thisisatest.com</link>

</rssfeeds>
Any idea why or where is the problem ?
The crash will happen regardless I think you'll find (it depends on which point the RSS reader is at when it occurs), and was fixed post Alpha4.
If a local file is supported (which I don't know if it is or not) then it'll be using the standard URL format:
smb://hostname/share/path_to_file

Jonathan,
Thanks for your reply.
In Alpha 4 SMB is not supported (yet) ?
Anyway, I found a solution with XMBS
My Solution to create a local RSS Feed (on a local network) :
1) Create a folder (for me "RSS") & place your "Rss.xml" inside this folder
2) Using CCxGui & add the folder to share
3) Open "RssFeed.xml" (on vista : C:\Users\"NameOFYourComputer"\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\UserData)
4) Give the root of your XML (my media are located on 192.168.1.100)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<rssfeeds>
<set id="1">
<feed updateinterval="30">xbms://192.168.1.100:1400/RSS/Movie_Rss.xml</feed>
<feed updateinterval="30">xbms://192.168.1.100:1400/RSS/Music_Rss.xml</feed>
</set>
</rssfeeds>
5) Start XBMC
Note : this method is
ONLY used to announce new media arrived.
This is a exemple of my Movie_Rss.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>New</title>
<item><title>Movie N°1</title></item>
<item><title>Movie N°2</title></item>
<item><title>Movie N°3</title></item>
</channel>
</rss>
I have 5 kids & I'm using XBMC on :
- My Xbox
- My Bedroom
- My Computer
All Media are located on my local server & this feed is to annouce what new media is arrived.
There is no link to link or something else ;-)
Enjoy !
Dav.
If xbms works, then there's no reason that smb wouldn't work as well.
Cheers,
Jonathan
Are you sure Jonathan ?
See this caps (in FR sorry) :
Translation for the second caps :
Code:
Error
Error-1073741772: Share not available
Anyway it work for me with XBMS (its better than SMB)
Cheers,
Dav.
All that doesn't work is browse (for some users - not all). Not really sure as yet why this is.
Typing in the server name and then browsing works.
Nope it's not working for me.
As I said, it's working under XMBS.
For me it's better than SMB & I don't have to share another folder under Vista
Just need to share it with CCxGui -> is more secure because no one on the
network can access the folder, except me ^^.
Search the forum for vista + smb - there's some workarounds you need to do. Ofcourse, if you don't care about smb sharing, then don't bother!
Cheers,
Jonathan
Would this work?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<rssfeeds>
<set id="1">
<feed updateinterval="30">http://192.168.1.100/Music/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]/Rss.xml</feed>
</set>
</rssfeeds>
Any ideas on how to make something like that work?
why would you want to do something like that? load the rss xml for the artist you are playing every 30th minute. does not compute
