Excellent initiative!
I'd love to see the result!

Not to put any stress on you but how is it going grajen3?

[pieh]

sorry guys, for not informing about development because i was really busy lately and it seems i will stay busy for some time ... anyway, today i'm going on road trip and won't be online for couple of days so I wanted upload current working solution of rss client

download and install it via xbmc addon manager - install from zip

[fillidill]

No problem, take your time and have a nice trip grajen!
Thank you so much for the upload, I will take a look at it.

[heavydz]

i just installed it and currently testing the rss-client.
hey, its awesome!!!

thanks so much

[heavydz]

oops

i changed the rss-feed from "n24.de" to "spiegel.de" and i did a rssrefresh with "http://192.168.178.11:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=execbuiltin&parameter=RefreshRSS"

the new rss-feed is visble in the xbmc main screen and in your addon the upper frame and the right lower frame is empty. the left lower frame contains the name of the rss-frame though. "SPIEGEL ONLINE - Schlagzeilen"

so i un-installed your addon and re-installed it again. but still no display of the feed...sigh...

greetings and have a nice trip

[fillidill]

I guess I have the same problem as you heavydz (or maybe not?), no text shows up at all when i start the addon. I can mark stuff as watched though :S
Edit: I changed color in the skin-file and managed to get the 'edit feeds'-button to show but nothing happens when I press it.


How can I add/modify the rss-feeds?

this command affect only built-in xbmc RSS client - that scrolling text in home window, it won't have any effect on addon - in addon RSS feeds are refreshed every time You launch it.

ok, I guess I know why it isn't working with spiegel - it's that damn timezones handling - will upload fixed addon soon

what skin do You use? Could You upload screenshot?

to modify rss-feeds You can use rss.editor addon (You can download it via addon manager) or You can manually edit RssFeeds.xml in userdata directory

download - fixed not working spiegel feeds

PS. for now I strongly recommend using default skin (Confluence) to use this addon - when I think addon is ready I'll make window for non-Confluence skins, but for now it would be waste of time doing it.

I use a heavily modified version of alaska revisited.

I tried this in the confluence-skin but the rss-feeds I tried sadly didn't work. This is one of the one's I tried:

Sounds good! Thanks for all your time!

I think I fixed this one too

if You guys are familiar with git You can get actual source from here: http://github.com/pieh/script.rssclient

ps. if You use download function from that page - don't install it via addon manager in xbmc - just replace files in addon/script.rssclient/ directory

[fillidill]

How's it going grajen3?
I'm specifically interested how it's going with the whole global skin notification of unread posts. Have you made any progress on this?

As always, thanks for all your hard work!

Modded Confluence - RSS icon appear in left bottom corner
http://wojtek.piechowiak.eu/mich/rss/screenshot039.png

fast how to:
Download Home.xml, IncludesHomeVertical.xml and place it in skin.confluence/720p (backup Your Home.xml and IncludesHomeVertical.xml before this)
Download home-rss.png, home-rss-FO.png and place it in skin.confluence/media

for skin modders:
Add <onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.rssclient,guiless)</onfocus> (similiar to running RecentlyAdded script). By default this will only setProperty in Home window - if You want this to be used in other windows You will need to add parameter for each window You want to use it:

Code:

<onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.rssclient,guiless,window=xxxxx,window=yyyyy)

Script will provide property unread_rss which contains number of unread messages. Usage: add visible condition to control

Code:

<visible>IntegerGreaterThan(Window.Property(unread_rss),0)</visible>

Ofcourse you can just use property to show number of unread messages

Please report any errors, feature requests etc.

Hi all,

Awesome job Grajen3, great script!!

I'm a newbie in XBMC, I think i've understand many things, but i'm not able to modify .py files causes I didn't understand nothing...

Could someone of you explain me how to modify this script in order to add my own RSS?

Thanks in advance guys,

Grajen3, did you plan further possibilities for this script? Maybe sync with googlereader account? (I know one script is already existing but did'nt work as well as this one)

Bye

To add/edit RSSes You can do one of the following:

• in my RSS addon hit left few times, and in "side menu" choose Edit rss feeds or smth like this
  
• in xbmc settings -> appearance -> skin -> rss edit
  
• or modify file rssfeeds.xml in xmbc/userdata

I didn't think bout further features - but syncinc with googlereader account sounds nice - i'll do some initial research how hard and time consuming would it be adding it

[bolish]

Thanks, what a dummy questions....it is the basis of XBMC and I didn't see this setting....
Thanks, I will try this evening.

Concerning googlereader account syncing, maybe could you have help here :

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=47507

I don't know if it is autorized to take ideas from others plugins..Maybe we should ask the autor. Don't know..

In every case, great job.

I don't know if your script is able to vizualize the pictures and / or videos that are in the rss feeds?
If not, do you think it will be hard to implement?

Have a nice day
