hi all,
my cnn video browser (http://www.xbmcscripts.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=search_result&itemid=array&search_mode=phrase&search_phrase=cnn%20video%20browser%20v1.0.1) was just released on xbmcscripts.com.
this uses cnn.com's rss feed to play any of a few hundred video reports. the new video reports are uploaded many times a day. it also has filtering by category and a pretty interface. i encourage you all to check it out!
as far as code goes it is a pretty good example of how to parse xml and rss in particular and how to use the new coordinate translation stuff. it also shows how to have a context sensitive field that changes value depending on which control is selected (ie a description for an element of the list). (getcontrol() is untrustworthy when you first come into onaction) any comments/feedback is appreciated.
