Corsair - Qtopia RSS/Podcast Aggregator v0.1 Copyright (C) 2005 Joe Rumsey (joe at rumsey dot org) See INSTALL for help building. To install on your PMA4xx or other device, put the .ipk file on your device (in /media/Documents for PMA4xx), and run package manager. Select Corsair and install it. Corsair is an RSS aggregator designed for mobile devices, especially, but not limited to, the Archos PMA series, and specifically meant to handle podcast feeds. It can maintain a list of feeds, check those feeds for updates, download enclosures, and view descriptions of those feeds. Although it was originally intended solely as a podcast aggregator, it may turn out to be a pretty good general purpose RSS aggregator too. The code will likely compile for any Qtopia based platform. Binary packages meant for the PMA4xx may even work out of the box on other ARM based platforms. No guarantees of any kind are made for any platform. This is version 0.1, and is lacking a great deal of planned functionality, but is already very usable. See the TODO file for details of what's to come, or ideas for what I could use help with. Help in testing/porting to platforms other than the Archos PMA4xx would be especially appreciated. I'd like the binary packages to at least work out of the box on the Sharp Zaurus too, but I have no idea if they will. It can also be run on desktop Linux systems using qvfb and qpe... but I don't know why you would other than for development purposes. It is designed for small screen limited capability devices with more storage than the author knows what to do with otherwise. Usage: Add some feeds: Click top button on left hand toolbar Automatically pastes text from clipboard - use Opera (or browser of your choice) to copy RSS feed URL to clipboard, then switch to Corsair and click add -OR: Put feeds you want in $(HOME)/Documents/corsair/feeds.opml Standard OPML file from any RSS aggregator should work. Let me know if it doesn't. This file will be overwritten when you add or delete feeds. Update a feed: Click Get button (Green arrow pointing down) to check for updates. (Automatically done when first adding a feed. Do this in the future) View descriptions of items in a feed: Expand a feed using the [+] buttons in the list Select, click "info" button (lower case i icon). Use Next/Prev buttons to nagivate through the feed's items (won't leave the current feed) Download a podcast: If an item has an enclosure, either click Download button in the info window, or select it in the main list and click the Download toolbar button (Green arrow pointing down, same button as updating a feed) Enclosures are downloaded to $(HOME)/Documents/corsiar/shows/ for now. Still need to figure out how to get them into the "real" hierarchy. But the PMA's player can play them directly from there, at least in the latest firmware.
