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>

Why ? :
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.

This worked for me in 2021. Thanks for the post
