RSS in user text

[kiwi]

you need to write your own scripts to do this kindof thing

rss is a complex format - and needs a lot of scripting

Richard,
do you mean scripts for Quartz Composer? or are you saying you could put a script directly into the user text vis fx?
perhaps RSS is something that could be added in the same fashion as user text, or in the fx designer?


jajasiek,
I have needed to do this before where a live news ticker was required. I used a pc running a cheap RSS reader outputting the ticker in full screen and simply sent that output into an SDI live input in catalyst.
For my purposes it kept all the networking much simpler, and was easy to do because I happened to have the kit to do it available.
-Perhaps this isn't an option for you?

regards
Paul
