[Freevo-users] Freevo RSS Client

[Justin Wetherell]

I made an Rss client for Freevo; it is an addition server that runs and checks for new podcasts or video podcasts. It's pretty hacky at this point but running well; so far. It will download the podcast and create an fxd file at this point.

You need to add some options to the local_config.py file:
#RSS FEED FILES AND DIRECTORIES
RSS_FEEDS='/etc/freevo/rss.feeds'
RSS_VIDEO='/opt/media/tv/'
RSS_AUDIO='/opt/media/podcasts/'

You will need to make a rss.feeds file: it contains the URL and the number of days it's been published (7 days since it's been published, in this example)
#/etc/freevo/rss.feeds file
http://twit.libsyn.com/rss,7
http://leo.am/podcasts/twit,7
http://leo.am/podcasts/itn,7
http://leo.am/podcasts/dgw,7
http://leo.am/podcasts/sn,7

Untar the following files http://freevohelp.com/FILES/freevoRss.tar and place in your /usr/local/freevo/src/helpers directory.

You can start it; with the following command:
freevo rssServer start

You can stop with the following command:
freevo rssServer stop
