Re: Quartz and RSS



This is from an rss screen saver I've been working on. The rest of the composition doesn't really work at the moment, so instead of including it, i'll just describe the inputs and outputs of the patch:
Inputs:
Duration: how long each feed item is displayed
Initial delay: minimum delay before starting the output
RSS Feed URS(s): a comma-separated list of feed URLs
Chronological Order and
Feed Order: if both are true, it switches between both modes, if one is true, it uses that mode, and if none are true, it gives no output
Limit article count and
to _ Articles: if the first is true, the patch uses no more than _ articles from each feed
Limit article age and
to _ seconds: limit the article age
Time Delay: time to show nothing between articles (assuming nothing is shown when time%duration==0

Outputs:
Time: current time index
Feed Data: source feed data
Article data: array of article data (note: in chronological order mode, this only contains the current article.)
Index: current index (always 1 in chronological order)
Article count: number of articles in feed (also 1 in chronological order)
Display: false if no sources could be read (no internet) or no display order is selected

This seems to be something like what you want to do. I hope it's helpful.

Sorry, first I forgot the attachment. Then I found out it was too big. And now I am sending a link. This should work. And by the way, don't bother to visit the actual site. It's still under construction.
