That's great. I have tested it on Xbian (Raspberry Pi 2). It basically works.
So far I have found two issues, but none of them is a malfunctioning that can be captured in a log (I suppose):
1. the addon fails to render the special characters such as the accented vowels (e.g.: è, é, à...). I have tried to add a line in the addon.py file reading # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*- but it has no effect.
2. as you wrote, some links in the RSS feed are broken. Strange, as they are accessible through the web link but not the direct file link in the RSS html page. Bad, as one of the broken links is the main 30 minute tv news link.
Anyway, I have tried to improve the addon:

Version 0.0.8
- Add-on renamed from "RTS Un / RTS Deux" to "RTS - Info"

Version 0.0.7
- Change icon and fanart

Version 0.0.6
- Add UTF-8 encoding

As you will see, I have tried to do things without having a programming knowledge. Still, if you would be still willing to develop it, I would definitely try to help.

These are the files that I have made:

- Rename the two folders

You've been busy! Smile Nice modifications.

The encoding is definitely an issue. Not too bad on my 'buntu systems, but it's terrible on Android and even worse on my Macbook. I did try to force UTF-8, but it didn't change anything. I'll look into this and see if I find a way to clean things up a bit.

As far as the 30 minute segments go - If they work on the website, I'm pretty sure I can get those directly from there. I'll put some time into this on the weekend and maybe get an update out then.
