changing RSS feed with RC?

Postby tester2010 » 27 Dec 2010 17:40

Based on some posts and the RC help, I asume you can't change RSS settings on the fly (like the url). Am I right?

1 way to trick this could be to read the rss and parse it as a marquee text. but in my case i need both marquee (Title and remaining time) and rss feed displayed at the same time on the screen.

Any idea to do this?

Thanks for the help.

AFAIK you can change RSS plugin parameters on fly.

ok.
In that case, some one knows the commands to do this on the fly?
I tried this 2 ways with no success:

1.via the DOS commands:
"C:\Archivos de programa\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --sub-filter=rss --rss-urls="http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&topic=h&output=rss"
But then, a new vlc instance (window) is opened with those rss settings, and off course in the current active instance (the window where the video is running) the rss don't show up in the video and the rss settings does not change.
If i include the video in the parameters, then the video restars, and that is what i'm trying to avoid.


2.via RC.
I open RC.
and i use --longhelp or --advanced , and I don't find any command of the RC to change the RSS settings (like the url)

Any help is really appreciated.

ok . VLC _help thanks for your answer.
so i tried that but did not work.
first i open vlc
"C:\Archivos de programa\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -I qt --sub-filter=rss@rss1{urls="http://rss.cnn.com/rss/si_mma.rss"}:rss ... si_nba.rss"} c:\1.avi

later, i try to call rss1:

@rss1 rss-urls "http://rss.cnn.com/rss/si_mma.rss"

(i tried @rss1 --rss-urls http://rss.cnn.com/rss/si_mma.rss , just in case that could work)

both commands gets this answer:
Variable doesn't exist or isn't a command.

Am I doing something wrong? or vlc does not have the option to change rss settings with RC.
have you use it?
thanks

My bad. It seems rss plugin doesn't have any callbacks. (so values can be only set then plugin is started)
