WorldNews plugin v1.4.0 for MediaPortal 1.6.0 and higher (4 Viewers)

Hi @Luca Brasi,

... Yeah sure it is fine for me, I am greatful for your work either way! ...

to reduce the configuration effort for you, I've added a new functionality to import news feed definitions from OPML files. As far as I know, the feedly service offers a solution to export your settings into a file of this type.
For testing purposes, you can also use the attached file example.

Cheers, Micropolis

Thanks @Micropolis!
This is a great addition and will help me a lot!

Hey @Micropolis,
I've tried the import feature. Unfortunately it gives me an error.

I'll attach the debug text and my opml file. Maybe you could have a look...
Thanks!

Same error of Luca.

Also, my feedly.opml is slightly different from your (I do not have the <outline text = "..."> section), and then I had to change it manually to import data
My debug.txt file and my original feedly.opml attached.

Regards,
xavier.

Hi xavier,

...(I do not have the <outline text = "..."> section ...

ok, then the feedly export file does not follow or implement the OPML specification correctly. I'll check your and the issue from @Luca Brasi today in the evening and give feedback as soon as possible.

Cheers, Micropolis

Thank you and cheers,

Hi @Micropolis,
it is working now! Thanks!
Are you planing to extend the import so that more than one profile/feed can be imported at once?

+1

The manual import of all profiles is veeery tedious...

yesterday in the evening I had a little smile because I expected exactly this request. So here we go, version 0.8.12 can be downloaded from the well known places. To import multiple feeds from OPML files, open the respective dialog, hold down the Ctrl key and select each feed you want to import. Please be aware, that this type of import will overwrite all previous profiles completely.
When I see the number of feeds used by you, does it makes sense to think again more about the maximum number of profiles, which can be handled by WorldNews?

Cheers, Micropolis

yeah, of course you did! it's always a pleasure to lighten up a devs live with user's wishes... I got pretty good at that

So here we go, version 0.8.12

You're great, thanks! It works completely as I wished for.

Oh yeah it does. If you don't see any problems with performance or alike I would set it to something way higher than 10...

Thanks again mate!
