This is the RSS newsfeed reader module, allowing newsfeeds to be monitored directly from Sage, and podcasts to be downloaded and viewed.
The 'read' state of individual news items are updated when the item is viewed, and if the item is selected, you can: * view the full item summary * view the linked article in an external web browser. * with the WebText plugin, a text representation can be viewed with sage (even on extenders) * download and view/listen to the podcast ![]() ![]() See the Rss News module page on the sage Wiki for download and install instructions. History V4.1 20 Dec 2007 (download)
07 February 2007 v4.0 for SageTV6
20 Oct 2005 v3.1 for SageTV 3.0

On my todo list for this module is the ability to download the enclosures from the RSS feed... This would allow podcasts to be viewed directly from Sage!

Is there no way to read the rss feeds inside of Sage the same way we can read IMDB info?

You mean the articles that the RSS feeds link to?
Not technically possible I am afraid. Loading the HTML is easy. Parsing it to find the article text (and images) and extracting that text only (whilst ignoring ads, menus, links etc) for every single format/layout of web page for every web-site is just impossible. (IMDB search works because it is only 2 pages on one web site that need to be parsed, and even then it is difficult and any IMDB layout change will break it.)

Plugin Display Issues
I was using this plugin without any problems in version 3 beta. Just updated to version 4 with SageMC and now I have issues of the screen not refreshing and displaying correctly.
I believe that a picture captures the problem best. Any help would be greatly apprectiace. FYI: I followed the instructions on wiki page. BTW, thank for this great plugin. I use it all the time. |

Dont use SageMC myself, but this looks like a background image problem -- check your properties file and see if the file referred to by:
ui/background_image is in the STVs/SageMC directory (copy it from the STVs/SageTV3 directory if not)

Don't mean to be a pest but I found that the meekell Stv allows you to read the rss feeds inside of Sage. Using Studio I managed to add it to your stv. The only problem is that, while everything looks like the regular Sage skin, when I goto read the RSS feeds, that one page looks like the meekell skin. I havn't been able to learn much about studio yet but I was just curious if you plan on adding it to your import anytime soon.

Here is some information that Jason posted on the SageMC16x9 thread: "In Sage navigate to the channel setup screen. Open Studio (ctrl-shift-f12). In Studio, Go to 'Debug -> UI Components'. In the UI Components screen, click the 'Channel Setup Old' chain icon and then right click the SetupWizardMenuTheme icon. Click on 'Highlight Widget'. Now, in studio, right click the 'SetupWizardMenuTheme' widget and change the location of the background. to the one within the MCE folder." It should give you a general idea as to how to change the background image to your liking. I am very interested in adding this viewer ability into this plugin. Let me know once you have it working. |

RSS News Feed Question
Is there a way to port over the RSS News Feeds I had set up on my 2.2.8 server to my 4.0 server?? I added a bunch of feeds and would love to not have to do them one by one again ... Is there a file I can just move over???
Thanks, T. |

RSS theatre times from google
Hi, I came across this site that uses RSS to generate movie listings. THe site works great, I would imagine for people who know a whole lot more than me about RSS and sage, they could put this into sage without too much trouble.

phantomfsoc posted a few replys back that meekell Stv allows you to read rss feeds within Sage. He was even able to incorporate it with this plugin.
I believe this would be the next evolution of this plugin. Nielm or anyone up for the challenge. I believe that it shouldn’t be to hard considering that meekell has it working in his Stv. But what do I know… |

![]() ![]() ![]() I got this up and running no problem too and its great that I can now look up movie listings in a flash. What a really cool addition to this would be if there was a way that movie info could be populated for each listing from the IMDB. I know nothing about programming, otherwise I'd takle it. Anybody want to takle that? |

Were you able to get this set up from within Sage? If so, how so? I havent upgraded to studio yet, was it with studio? In case anyone else is interested, is there a comic strip downloaded? I found out all online Comics are named in a very precise way according to date way, might be easy to set up a script that incorporates this date change and download the days comics.... EG Doonesbury http://images.ucomics.com/comics/db/2005/db051128.gif db for doonesbury 05 year, 11 month, 28 the day... ideas for smarter minds than me to figure out... |

Didn't need to use Sage or Studio ... this is what I did;
That's all there is to it ... ![]() As for the comic strip ... that may take some studio work if you want the GIF file to show up in Sage and not open it up in the browser. Sound like a cool ![]() Thanks again for the Theater Feed ... T. ![]() |
