 With the current version of Serviio (0.6.1) it sometimes happens that you come across an online feed that Serviio cannot process, with the result that you don't get any links in your mediaplayer. In other cases you do get links, but with titles that are meaningless. RSS feeds are fairly simple XML files that can be edited with a simple text editor like Notepad. So, one solution would be to edit the RSS file and then use the edited file as a local file. The current version of Serviio will not accept a local RSS file, but it is expected that an upcoming version with playlist support will make that possible. With the current version of Serviio (0.6.1) it sometimes happens that you come across an online feed that Serviio cannot process, with the result that you don't get any links in your mediaplayer.

-In the meantime it is possible to use your own edited RSS file if you upload it to the web. If you have your own website it is easy, but otherwise you can use public online storage. A list of free online storage sites can be found at http://freedrive.awardspace.com/storage.htm. You just have to make sure that the storage site will give you a direct link to each file that you upload. An easy ones to use is MediaFire (http://www.mediafire.com), where you can upload a file without having to register. Once uploaded you go to the download page, rightclick on the download button and copy the link. That will be the URL you should use in Serviio.+In the meantime it is possible to use your own edited RSS file if you upload it to the web.

 It is also possible to create your own online playlists this way, and it is quite easy if you use a simple RSS file as a template. A very simple file can be downloaded from http://www.ullerup.com/files/aftenshow.xml. It contains 5 items with a title and a link to a media file. All you need to do is to open the file in a text editor and replace the titles and the links, adding or deleting items as required. Make sure to save the edited file with a .xml extension. It is also possible to create your own online playlists this way, and it is quite easy if you use a simple RSS file as a template.
