RSS auto-update/auto-roll problem

Post by MLMCC »

I have no problem driving my display using the program, and no problem receiving RSS feeds (BBC World News is my specific interest).

However, once the program DLs one headline news item, it doesn't auto-update (i.e. move on to the next news item).

What is the command syntax required to enable auto-update, with headlines being displayed from 1 to 'n', and then rolling back to one, forever?

As a point of reference, this sort of rolling display, and the time and date on the last line of a 4X20, is all I wish to display.

Thanks!

You have to change the "t" "d" "b" and the maxfrequencies parameters.

RE: RSS feed update

Post by MLMCC »

I've tried using the command line (......,t), which (as I understand) defaults to all items, no update limit.

All I'm really interested in putting on the display is the RSS item titles.

I've also tried making a bunch of successive screens using that same syntax. Same result; one title gets DLed and then it gets displayed forever.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mike
