Thanks! Got it working, but I have one oustanding issue (and I'm sure it's easy to solve):

Currenlty I am using xbins.org/xbins.xml as my news feed and I can't get the news item to rotate to the next item. Here's the MXM.XML settings:

QUOTE

<Newsfeed name="newsfeed">
<Global>True</Global>
<RotateChannels>True</RotateChannels>
<URL>http://xbins.org/xbins.xml</URL>
<UpdateIntervalMin>28</UpdateIntervalMin>
<RotateItemInterval>1</RotateItemInterval>
</Newsfeed>

I would think that RotateItemInterval would be the value to switch the visible news item...?

Sorry to bother -- thanks for the help.

It's the number of seconds before it switches to the next item.

I'm still working out some details on different ways of displaying newsfeed information.

Gotcha -- so, if I have RotateItemInterval set to 1, then every 1 second it should be switching items in my RSS feed, correct? The Xbins feed has all the news items on its site in its XML feed -- but I only get the first one. And then it never changes.

Last question - promise.

Well, this might be a compiler optimization bug. I noticed it stopped working, but in my last recompile, it works fine now.

I'll be looking into it again, though soon...

Im still having this problem with 9o2. not sure if you had a chance to look at it yet.. just thought i would post a note.

i've tried both x-s news and axs skin list for mxm... and both do the same.

BenJeremy · « **Reply #18 on:** July 25, 2003, 05:29:00 PM »

OK.... I'll look into it in a few...

koldfuzion · « **Reply #19 on:** July 25, 2003, 05:45:00 PM »

no rush. seriously.

just for clarification...

i have the same results with 9n 9n1 9n2 and 9o (o reports itself as 9n2..so im not sure if n2 and o ar ethe same.)

I tried with both the xbox-scene.com and mxmlauncher skins (just because the tags difference - single vs. multi-line)

and again, using both news feeds.

Just in case any of that helps.

koldfuzion · « **Reply #20 on:** July 25, 2003, 10:15:00 PM »

sorry BJ.

I downloaded the latest... still didnt work. WTF?

So I started trying different stuff in the MXM.XML. Loading the newsfeeds at various places. Still didnt work - WTF?

So I decided to strip my MXM.XML file all the way down to near nothing.....and that Is why I appoligize for wasting your time.

My lazy a$$ never switched my menu from the MXM.XML. It always worked exactly as intended so I never bothered.

The <MENU> -- or something between these two tags --</MENU> is what is causing the newsfeed to break.

I thought maybe the titlesort or title tags just due the similarity in the newsfeed itself. Nope. I removed everything except the menu, submenu, item and url tags of a single entry and it would still mess up the feed.

I moved the menu to menu.xml, reuploaded the two files and rebooted... and bam! in my face newsfeeds.

Thanks for the work... again.

Sorry for being a dumbass.

Hi KoldFuzion, can you explain this to me, cause i am having the same problem...

My newsfeed just stops and isn't rotating.

This is what my mxm.xml looks like

<Config>

<Main>
<DiscTitle>Media X Menu</DiscTitle>
<DiscSubtitle> </DiscSubtitle>

<skinspath>C:MXMSkins</skinspath>
</Main>

<Network>
<UseDHCP>False</UseDHCP>
<IP>192.168.1.5</IP>
<DefaultGateway>192.168.1.1</DefaultGateway>
<SubnetMask>255.255.255.0</SubnetMask>
<DNS1>213.93.128.11</DNS1>
<DNS2>62.108.1.66</DNS2>
</Network>

<Newsfeed name="newsfeed">
<Global>True</Global>
<RotateChannels>True</RotateChannels>
<URL>http://xbins.org/xbins.xml</URL>
<UpdateIntervalMin>28</UpdateIntervalMin>
<RotateItemInterval>1</RotateItemInterval>
</Newsfeed>

<Preferences>
<SynchronizeClock>true</SynchronizeClock>
<TimeServerIP>192.168.1.1</TimeServerIP>
<Nickname>Dalmas Xbox</Nickname>
</Preferences>

</Config>

I am using menu.xml as well, but i guess that's not needed with my problem atm..

Thanks for any help!

Yes, yes... known issue. I have a fix coming out in the next "general" release (0.9n.3).

After I do a couple more things today, and verify with WIP testers that it's working for them, I'll release a bug fix version tonight.

Yes, BJ.. that fixed it.

I deleted my menu.xml and added the full menu back to mxm.xml and it still cycles through the newsgroup.

<Newsfeed name="user1">
<Global>True</Global>
<RotateChannels>True</RotateChannels>
<URL>http://www.xbox-scen...scene.xml</URL>
<UpdateIntervalMin>20</UpdateIntervalMin>
<RotateItemInterval>5</RotateItemInterval>
</Newsfeed>
<Newsfeed name="user2">
<Global>True</Global>
<RotateChannels>True</RotateChannels>
<URL>http://www.allxboxsk...ssmxm.xml</URL>
<UpdateIntervalMin>10</UpdateIntervalMin>
<RotateItemInterval>5</RotateItemInterval>
</Newsfeed>

Works Great and cycles through both feeds. Thanks BJ! U the man!

BenJeremy · « **Reply #29 on:** July 26, 2003, 02:06:00 PM »

I spotted the problem with bad newsfeeds... I changed it so it will only retry every 5 minutes if it fails.
