[slim] Re: Renaming RSS feeds in Slimserver
I made the request as some people may not like the default feed names that come built into the xml file. Personalisation wouldnt be hard to include! Jono -- jonolumb ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Most RSS news feed readers allow the name to be changed. Please add an enhancement request at http://bugs.slimdevices.com/ Enhancement 2096 raised. Thanks, Phil ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Re: Renaming RSS feeds in Slimserver
Don't see why you need to do all that - as far as I can tell the rr plugin automatically picks up the channel name from the description/ tag in the feed. I think it would be really nice to be able to amend the name. I renamed my RSS feeds to be shorter so that they actually fit on the top line of the SB display (which doesn't scroll), so that I can actually read the (n of n) part at the end!

AHA I've sorted it. First turn off slimserver (just in case). Then go to the slimserver.pref file in: C:/Program Files/slimserver/server/slimserver.pref Open it in notepad and search for the google address. (http://news.google.co.uk/nwshp?hl=entab=wnq=output=rss) The following entry turns up. plugin_RssNews_feeds1 = http://news.google.co.uk/nwshp?hl=entab=wnq=output=rss That is the web address field. Next you need to find the name field so click find next to get the next entry with the google address. This entry turns up. plugin_RssNews_names1 = http://news.google.co.uk/nwshp?hl=entab=wnq=output=rss Rename it to this plugin_RssNews_names1 = Google News The numbers of each entry should correspond (names1 is the name for feeds1 etc). Finally close the prefs file, start slimserver and go to the plugins section on your squeezebox2. The plugins section should now contain the new renamed version. I suggest that slim devices should change their web interface to include a name field for the RSS feed to avoid having to go to the prefs file. Hope this is useful to someone (I guess most ppl already know how to do this sort of thing :) ) Cheers Jono -- jonolumb ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Maybe you need to actually open the feed on your slimserver first for it to pick up the correct name..? -- Jimmerz ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

That's certainly how it's supposed to work...and does work for the feeds I use. In fact I just added the URL given in this post and it picked up the title fine.
