Maybe you could make this even better by including all the known to work newsfeeds from the pinned topic, Important Threads...  <

[flattspott]

I'll probable do just that.

However some of the supposedly working ones,  don't work for me, like slashdot and xbins.

But I'll update it just the same

Also I think I'll switch all my scripts to use an Extra.xml file instead of bundling everything into the MXM.xml  <

[geniusalz]

*Excellent*

More stuff for the content downloader

[flattspott]

Here a list from the pinned topic

http://www.php.net/news.rss
http://www.allxboxskins.com/rssmxm.xml
http://xbins.org/xbins.xml
http://www.slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf
http://www.xbox-scen.../xbox-scene.xml
http://arstechnica.com/etc/rdf/ars.rdf
http://anotheruseles...com/backend.php
http://backend.userl...2003/06/24#a302

any others?

I'll probably stay up late and do searching for compatible newfeeds (I will actually test them)

What feeds do you want me to find, sports movies, etc? The net is a big place and I'm sure there out there somewhere.

[flattspott]

I'll definity have to start using an Extra.xml file now

Total count now is 30 working feeds. Yes I said 30, more then likely it'll be more.

Update will be soon  <

[flattspott]

Actually it's more like, almost 50 newsfeeds

CIA, FBI, Cub Scouts, MotorSports, Extraterrestial, etc, etc

If you want them go here http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act...=0#entry1133535

I posted a seperate thread for this cause it didn't seem like that many people were interested in the NewsChanger script by itself. Hopefully this will peek you're interest.

Also perhaps if one the mods could change the subtitle for that post to almost 50 newsfeed included, then you could throw this one away

MOD EDIT: Changed title and merged threads

Is that good enough for you YuYu?

[Yuyu]

Hehe, awsome work man.... Keep it up.... Oh and your context menu script is superb also....  <

[flattspott]

Updated once again guys. I think it looks much nicer now  <
