RSS feed question
#1
Hi all

I'm trying to add the cnn feed for top stories and am new to this feature of xbmc

I tried adding " rss://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss " as the new source via the GUI of gotham and I keep getting errors. I had it working with a slightly varied URL (can't remember exactly what it was now) but tried to add another feed and wound up corrupting my xml file for rss in android and had to start from scratch.

Can someone please post the proper URL for this for me? I've read the wiki and can't remember how I got it to work properly before.

Thanks very much!

I use these, located in userdata/RssFeeds.xml

<set id="1">
<feed updateinterval="30">http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot</feed>
<feed updateinterval="30">http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/us_and_canada/rss.xml</feed>
</set>

I figured it out. The string I kept trying to use wasn't working.... UNTIL I left 1 of the default xbmc feeds in the set, added my new feed path, and then exited xbmc and relaunched it.

It's obviously a glitch of sorts with either my new skin or gotham 13.1 for android itself.
