Hi - does anyone know how to modify the CustomRSS.xml file so that the rss feed is permanently shown? I would like to see my rss feed on my homescreen, as well as when any videos are playing via various addons... Is that doable? Thank you!

Hello rhoop206,

Is this of any help to you?

http://kodi.wiki/view/RssFeeds.xml

Have you enabled RSS Feeds in the menu? Settings>Interface Settings>Other. Then Enable "Show RSS News Feeds"

Thanks for the quick reply! This isn't quite getting me the answer(s) I'm looking for. I have RSS feeds enabled, and the feed is working when I'm navigating other areas within the skin that I'm using (which is Arctic Zephyr), but the rss ticket doesn't run on the homescreen, which i'm hoping to solve for. Also, ideally, I'd like to have it continue to run/be visible even if I start watching a TV show or movie.... Thoughts?

Just change the visible condition in the window header so that it is only not (!) visible for the screensaver.
e.g.

Code:

<visible>!Window.IsVisible(screensaver)</visible>

That worked great - thank you!

Hi Jurialmunkey - sorry one last question on this. How can I also modify the customrss.xml to give the feed a black background (so I can still easily read it even when watching videos)? Thank you again for your help.

Just after <controls> but before <control type="rss"> put the following:

Code:

<control type="image">
    <height>32</height>
    <left>0</left>
    <right>0</right>
    <bottom>0</bottom>
    <texture colordiffuse="Light1">common/white.png</texture>
</control>

This is awesome. Thank you so much Jurialmunkey! Super helpful.

Dear,

I'm still new in kodi and trying to explore it.
Could you please advise which filename & location I should update to make RSS feed display in TV fullscreen mode?
