Ah! Actually happy to hear that the homescreen feed doesn't work in RC1 -- was pulling my hair out trying to get that to work..

I haven't looked into the reason yet, but it could be that the RSS Client Addon stopped working in RC1, in which case the skin can't make sure of it. The RSS Addon is from "Pieh", who joined the main XBMC team I understand.

A Video Feed on the Homescreen was the main reason I liked Boxee. And while Boxee by default displays "their" recommended stuff, one could always edit their home.xml and change some code with the very same Yahoo Pipe I'm using here. So this particular feed is what I have been using in Boxee for over a year

The good news is that is very easy to copy (if we can get it to work post-Eden-B3). One could for example add it in another XBMC skin by simply adding a Home Menu entry that on click or hover displays the feed in the area normally used for "recently added". Personally I much prefer a feed I can customize then navigating though a individual addons where some contents works and some doesn't. Hard to explain to wife why something doesn't work, and gets turned off the whole experience if every 4th click results in a fail.

Yeah this is limited to youtube, but at least youtube always works and is probably the quickest thing to get fixed once it stops working.
