Xibo

Simplepie

Asked by Paul Andrews

I see that SimplePie is included in the 1.60RC1 media. Just wondering if there is any documentation on how to make this work with Xibo? I'm trying to parse multiple news feeds for our news ticker?

Originally I just did multiple timelines, but timing was an issue, SimplePie looks like a better option?

Unless there is a better solution for parsing multiple feeds?

Regards,

Paul

It's used automatically in 1.6 rc1.

There's no option to combine feeds with it. It's simply a replacement for
in-client rss parsing

Thanks Alex,

Are there plans to offer the ability to parse multiple feeds. i.e. we are displaying top news stories, local and sports stories in our news feed.

If not is there a recommendation on how to handle multiple feeds in one region?

There's nothing like that on the roadmap. To my knowledge it's the first
time it's come up.

Feel free to add it as a blueprint.

In the meantime I would have thought adding multiple tickers to the same
time line would be the closest to what you want, or pre-combine the feeds
you want in Yahoo Pipes and add the resulting feed the Xibo.

Can you help with this problem?
