How do I add RSS feeds?

[Marcellus]

Since a couple of days I tried to add RSS feeds and failed. The reason was exactly that I constantly used RSS news feed instead of Information Browser.

For me it was not clear there are two options.

Trying to understand the situation and what people are using - as this is the only way to improve things..

I presume you were using Infobrowser to looks at RSS feeds but when you went to settings to add new RSS feed , you didn't associate the Infobrowser entry in Plugins with the menu you were using or did the RSS just catch your eye and made you "blind" to the Infobrowser ?

At any point did you realise you were accessing the Infobrowser menu ?
What made you look for RSS feed under Infobrowser in the first place ? If it was a help topic/manual entry then should more info be added there about adding new feeds ?

Would making the feeds entered into RSS News tickers also available in Infobrowser help things ?

This describes exactly what happened. Browsing through settings I associated the Info Browser with RSS and RSS was the trigger word that turned me "blind".

No I did not consciously realize I was accessing Infobrowser on my Jive.

My input for a solution would be to place the possibility to edit the Info Browser feeds directly in the "Squeeze Center Main Screen" adding a "pen Icon" behind Infobrowser.

The comment on the RSS Feed setting screen starts with: "The RSS News Ticker plugin can be used to browse and display items from RSS Feeds." It could be clarified this is screen saver only.

It could be clarified this is screen saver only.

It si not just a screen saver but it is also an "Extra" menu but only on Softsqueeze/SB/Transporter menus and has been around longer than Infobrowser so it has more prominance.

OK. I'm a "Duet only" and have no other slimdevice.
