Check back in a day or two for version 1.0.1. I think I can also create a special child type that allow extraction of user defined XML nodes. UPDATE: I'm also going to add feed language, and item categories to the child measure types. I designed it for RSS feeds, and I don't know the Atom feed format, but I'll look into this too. Might even be today.Īs for the RSS/Atom question, I don't know. I'll add this to the child measure types. I don't use date/time values myself, but I can see how they would be useful to others. I didn't test, but I assume this will handle both RSS and Atom feed formats? Being able to avoid complex regular expressions is certainly going to be welcome to many. (I bring the raw data into Lua to do some extra parsing and actions there) Having said that, for most pretty simple RSS needs, I think this is quite good and may well meet the needs of many folks. Without the date/time of the item being available in some standard date format it wouldn't be something I could regularly use, as I like to have new items (new by my definition in seconds or minutes) highlighted.

RAINMETER FEED READER UPGRADE
I recommend all FeedReader users upgrade to the latest version.ĭownload it now from my deviantART gallery. It also extends the ItemDesc child measure type to return the value of the item nodes for Atom feeds. Sorry about that, it's what happens when you upload things when you are suffering the worst flu you've had in ten years. IMPORTANT: I inadvertently uploaded a test version of the DLLs as version 2.1.0, which had special character substitutions disabled for RSS feeds. Handles 171 different special character codes. No more long and complicated Substitute= clauses. Version 2.1.0 adds automatic special character substitution, if desired. New child measure types to provide feed type (RSS or Atom), feed language, and item language. The custom child measure types now support XML attributes and namespaces. Filter items by age, category, or language. Multiple channel support for RSS feeds. UPDATE: New release version 2.0! Lots of new features added, including: (Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 license) If you like it, feel free to use FeedReader in your own released skins.
RAINMETER FEED READER FULL
Full documentation is included so you can use the FeedReader plugin in your own skins. This plugin fully supports dynamic variables, making it easy to write very sophisticated RSS skins with a minimum of fuss. A full RSS feed with fifty or a hundred (or a thousand) headlines can be read over a reasonably fast internet connection in less than one second. Rather than struggling with slow and cumbersome regular expressions, this new plugin reads RSS feeds as XML, which is inherently easy for a program (or human) to extract data from. WebParser's lack of dynamic variable support also greatly complicated the design and execution of MultiFEED 1.0.
RAINMETER FEED READER SKIN
When I originally wrote my multiFEED skin its performance was severely diminished by the huge number of regular expressions the skin needed to execute with WebParser to extract the feed data.
