i'm trying to get my local news radio stations RSS feeds on xbmc (confluence).
only problem is that the feeds only show the title of the feed and not the content of the story.
heres the URL of the feed which works fine apart from the above issues:
http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/xmljobs/rssc...tegories=2
heres a copy and paste of the top part of the web code:
<rss version="2.0"><channel>
<title>Latest News</title>
<link>http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz</link>
<description>Updated 24 Hours a Day - FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY</description>
<language>en-gb</language>

and here is my rssfeeds xml:
<xml><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<rssfeeds>
<!-- RSS feeds. To have multiple feeds, just add a feed to the set. You can also have multiple sets. !-->
<!-- To use different sets in your skin, each must be called from skin with a unique id. !-->
<set id="1" rtl="false">
<feed updateinterval="30">http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/xmljobs/rssc...tegories=2
</set>
</rssfeeds>
</xml>
what the feed shows is the stuff between the "title" stuff and not the "description"
also note that each story has its own invidual story id...
how can i make it display the Title and description of the story. AND only show say the top 10 stories based on the id number??
