ListItem.label and what else?

[Streek]

I haven't really been able to find proper documention explaining how RSS feeds are parsed in Boxee. All I know is that every <item> is a ListItem in Boxee.

But how are the sub-elements recognized? If the title was ListItem.title instead of ListItem.label, it would make more sense ... but that's not the case. So what do I do to call upon the other elements in the <item>? Like thumbnail, description, video length, etc.

Thanks.

bump. Can anyone help out?

If you are talking about making an RSS app for boxee, try Fuzz's repo how to. http://www.fuzzthed.com/support.php
THis got me going.

I think the call is the following:

ListItem.property(<tagname>)

<tagname> = name of tag in rss feed

Replace the input with the names of the elements in the rss feed.
I have no idea if the above is correct. It is what I found in a piece of sample code.

sample code:
$INFO[Container(111).ListItem.property(description)]

I tried that it's not really working. I'm trying to pull a pubDate out of my RSS feed. If I try it with the title tag I can get it, code:

<control type="label">
<visible>true</visible>
<posx>635</posx>
<posy>265</posy>
<width>560</width>
<height>330</height>
<label>$INFO[Container(111).ListItem.property(title)]</label>
<textcolor>white</textcolor>
</control>

however, if I switch out that title with pubDate, it doesn't pull out any data. Nor does it work with the description tag, only title apparently. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Are you talking about where say you have the feed and the info is like this:
<Title>title</title>
<description>description</description>
<Info>
<pubDate> Pubdate</pubDate>
<someinfo>blahblah</someInfo>
</info>
<someinfo>blahblah</someinfo>

If so than I am trying to find the same sorta thing. I tried referencing by a few ways(eg. info.pubdate and infoubdate) but no help.

The only official properties of listitem are id, label, label2, icon, and thumb. Outside of that you're going to have to use python to get what you are looking for.
