Changed RssFeeds.xml but seeing same old XBMC news ticker in PM3.HD

Hauser · 2009-01-29, 15:34

I'm running the latest XBMC on XP with PM3.HD as my skin. I read about RssFeeds.xml and added in feeds for IMDb and People.com (for my wife, honest!) but when I restart XBMC, the RSS scroller still displays the same XBMC news as below:

Here's the contents of my RssFeeds.xml:

PHP Code:


			
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<rssfeeds>

  <set id="1">

    <feed updateinterval="30">http://rss.imdb.com/news/</feed>

    <feed updateinterval="30">http://rss.people.com/web/people/rss/topheadlines/index.xml</feed>

  </set>

</rssfeeds>

What am I doing wrong? Any advice would be appreciated!

the fact that it shows the old scroller should be a hint

update the correct file (that is in the correct folder). it sits in your user profile, not the one in the xbmc directory.

Ah, I didn't even know XBMC installed prefs under my Documents and Settings folders. Works like a charm, thans for the help!
