Hi guys,
there's a new plugin of mine. It is an RSS reader for blackbox. It's very early version so there's not many features yet. But I'll try to continue in development.

[mod. Moved and given the usual formatting. ]

That is all kinds of awesome.

I can't seem to change the feeds though. They won't update.

That's weird. Even if you choose "Force Update!"?

Yeah. I put the default feeds back on it and it updated a few times but now it's been blank for about 30 minutes. Force update doesn't appear to be working...

What if, instead of the vertical lines separating the feeds, you gave each rss feed its own list window? Does that make sense?

It seems to me intermittent. But some feeds won't work at all.

Is there any way to make it ignore (or maybe support) html links?

Try this modification, I've change HTTP requests a little bit, but I'm nearly 100% sure it won't help...

I'd like to stay in one window... Maybe separate feeds in a different way?

Could you send me the links to those feeds, which don't work? I'll try to examine the XML format.

Neither ignore nor support. But I plan to add some ignoring/filtering feature.

The update didn't have any effect. Here's a feed that doesn't work: http://www.digg.com/rss/index.xml


I was thinking like this, with each feed getting its own list window, but I'm just throwin' ideas at you.

I've reuploaded the build 0.0.1n, use the same link as last time. This should solve the digg problem.


I like your screenshot, this is a good idea, but it would be more difficult to paint it and then scroll it. But I'll think about that.

That fixed it. Works very nice.

Very cool ~~
When I load plugin in frame(interface) the scroll dosen't work.

Fixed. Check that build:

Thanks a lot!

COOL plugin pitris !

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Craig's List: http://tampa.craigslist.org/zip/index.rss


If you haven't tried it already, just setup multiple instances of the plugin by copying the DLL and RC files to seperate directories.

Example plugins.rc:
By positioning and other settings in each of the instances RC files, you should be able to archive close to what you want with the current build.

I've added support for RSS 1.0 feeds. Download it again and try if it works for you.

BTW, does anyone know about RSS 1.0 DTD (based on RDF)? I didn't find any...

Nightly build now works great with craigslist (RSS 1.0 feeds). Thanks pitris !
