pspRSS v0.61b: RSS/XML Reader

FreePlay, from our forums, has been hard at work over the holidays trying to perfect his RSS/XML reader for the PSP. While it's still a work in progress, he's come quite a ways since our last report on this piece of homebrew. Here's a condensed description as to what FreePlay has been doing in the last few versions, for complete details visit his thread on our forums [here]:

The new version allows you to enter in your own list of RSS feeds, download them all, and save them to a text file. It also allows you to choose how many enclosures to download, and whether or not you want to download them with the feeds.

To set up the program:
1. Create a folder for the enclosures: "X:\PSP\MUSIC\pspRSS", where X: is your PSP's drive letter.
2. Copy the "pspRSS" folder into the "X:\PSP\GAME\(LuaPlayer Folder here)\Applications" folder.
3. Create your config file, in this format:

----------------------------------------
[connection]
connection # to use (starts with 0, goes in the order of the Infrastructure connections in Network Setup)
[save_enclosures]
max # of enclosure to save
[Title]
http://feedurl/
default file name (not really necessary...)
----------------------------------------
Example:
----------------------------------------
[connection]
0
[save_enclosures]
3
[Fark]

fark.rss
[Chatterbox Video Game Radio]
http://www.chatterboxgameshow.com/chatterbox.xml
chatterbox.rss
----------------------------------------
Text feeds are stored in "X:\PSP\GAME\(LuaPlayer folder here)\Applications\pspRSS\feeds".
Enclosures are stored in "X:\PSP\MUSIC\pspRSS".

I'll expand upon this documentation eventually. For questions or comments or to report a bug, e-mail me at FreePlayPSP (at) Gmail (dot) com .

Note: there's no built-in feed reader yet. I suggest that you use BookR to read the feeds; it's really good at handling text files.

You can download it here.
You can get the Lua Player here.
