RSS and Weather on Basic Home - Release

JakeyMouse · 2008-08-02, 21:18

Rss feed and Weather Display

Current Version 0.5

As many of you know, I have been working on getting a RSS feed and the weather on the front page. Well, finally, I have got the stage of a first release. This version may still have bugs in, and is only for 1 skin (Indigo), but has easy enough portability for other skills.

At the bottom are some screen grabs of my HTPC at the moment...

I know a few people have been asking for this feature for a while now (myself included, which prompted me to do this), so I hope people enjoy, and use this! Also, if you do manage to use this, or make Skin Files for this, then a nice mention will get you in the new release version's.

Instructions are included in the RAR file. Any bugs or installation worries please post, I will check this post as often as I can!

Enjoy

Really nice JakeyMouse, i know a lot of people have asked for this for quite a while.

Can i ask you to upload pictures using the forum's advanced + feature, as this gives nice touch of opening in same window, also saves ad's\popups appearing for all

Works perfectly here with this SVN!
Please find enclosed the BasicHome.xml for PureVisionHD.

Yeah, just updated, and didn't get that error.

Make sure the RSS.txt file is in the MediaPortal directory, thats the only thing I can think of.
