RIP-Felix Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Is anyone familiar with xml for the RSS feed at the bottom of the screen in Kodi? I'm hoping there is a simple command I can write in the code for the Rssfeed.xml in the userdata that will alow me to display the text within a headline on the RSS webpage. I know how to insert a URL to a RSS feed and add sets (System --> Appearance --> Skin --> Show RSS News Feeds - Edit). Lets be clear, I'm talking about the RSS ticker, just a scrolling text at the bottom, not RSS media. My issue is with the way Kodi shows the information contained on the feed. It only displays text in headline sections, but not the relevant text contained within that section. For example: Your city Weather: Todays Weather: 57 F Fair, Winds SSW at 20 MPH, etc. Tomorrows Weather: 62F Cloudy, Winds 5 MPH, etc. In the example above it wouldn't display at all because there are only 2 headlines and it needs a minimum of three. this is a problem for my NOAA severe weather alerts RSS which only displays 1 or maybe 2 severe weather alerts if and when there are any. But lets say there are at least 3 headlines. The real problem I've found is that it will only display the headline, not the text after. So in the example above it would display like this: Your City Weather: Today's Weather - Tomorrow's Weather - [Next Headline] Obviously that's not very useful for getting weather. BTW: I'm only using weather as an example, I know that Kodi has weather function built in. I'm using the weather underground API for that, but would like to get specific severe weather alerts via the RSS feed at the bottom, among other feeds. But the headlines only thing is very impossible. More than that I find most of the feeds I point kodi at dont show at all, and I can't figure out why. I thought RSS stood for Really Simple Syndication...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP-Felix Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yeah, but it doesn't say anything about the text after the headline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
