|
|
Is it possible to push multiple RSS feeds to a single variable? I'd like a single horizontal marquee that displays each feed in turn. |

...from the application help:
"Note: You can have multiple extractions pull from the same feed. You can also have multiple extractions write to the same console variable."
Found in:
-> Tutorials, quick starts and tool mentors
------> RSS Feeds - Displaying RSS Content on the Console
Geez, I write this stuff and nobody reads it!
Although, I'm floored that someone is actually using the RSS capability.
What feeds are you pulling from?
BTW, I cannot find a feed that simply provides sports scores. And in trying to find it, I found that nobody else can find one either...apparently copyright issues? _________________ --

BBC Sports - same as you Doc, not scores, but news headlines. And I was trying to get a feed of poker touney news/chip counts. I found this pokerstars feed but...
www.pokerstarsblog.com/tournaments.xml
You know the Tiger Woods for PS3 has a ticker in game that takes actual news & scores from ESPN. I wonder if they push it out with RSS? Maybe the RSS URL could be hacked. |

Hmmm. Put a sniffer on that Tiger Woods game.
I was reading about sports tickers. One source I read claimed that the scores actually originated from a central location and were *pushed* out to ESPN/FOX/etc periodically via a CSV file. Can you believe that? _________________ --
