[QUOTE="civikdude, post: 20237, member: 12008"] Terrific!! I understand now that they're one-in-the-same. :oops: [u]Suggestions / Feature Requests[/u] When selecting My News, then hitting left arrow, it'd be nice to have the highlight bar land on "Select Feed" instead of "Refresh", since the Select Feed option is probably more widely used. It would be nice to have control over the order of the RSS feeds, as they appear on the GUI, either via a "Sort by" button on the My News module or via the setup utility. The Sort by option would probably require a rewrite of the GUI where the first page would display all the RSS feeds available, and the second would be the drill-down into the selected feed. Very similar to the look and feel of the My Pictures module, with the "View" and "Sort by" buttons on the left, the feed titles on the right. The Setup screen option would add a control to the setup module to place the RSS feeds in the desired order, then Save/Done will write them in that order to the MediaPortal.xml file. Another idea is to change the way RSS feeds are loaded, simply by loading the feeds from a directory of hyperlinks. This would eliminate the need to enter the URLs into the setup screen (and, subsequently, the MediaPortal.xml file). The directory would contain all hyperlinks, such as "http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss". The GUI would then look very similar to the My Pictures module, as described above, allowing one to change the view (list, icons) and sort method. Making the module more like the My Pictures plugin (and others) would provide more real estate on the screen when displaying the actual RSS feed. Drill down to article, Escape back. Again, these are just ideas. Thanks for providing this plugin! Aaron [/QUOTE]
