Is there any way to customize the RSS history feed? I have it feeding into XBMC's RSS reader so it notifies me when new downloads have arrived. But I'd like to customize the feed to make it a little more family friendly.

e.g. I'd like the feed to show a list of recently downloaded TV shows, with showname and ep #, instead of just the raw filename. This information can be figured out from the HISTORY table using the category and filename and a little regex parsing (much the same way TV is sorted now). For movies, obviously it's a slightly different process. But whatever, I can work these details out. But how do I hook into the RSS output?

From what I can tell from the python source, the RSS feed output is hardcoded.
So:
  - is it possible to add another RSS feed (without hacking the project).
  - are there plans to allow customization in the future?
  - can anyone think of another solution? (My least favorite idea is to write a separate web app or utility to produce an RSS feed out of the SQLite DB, processed and formatted the way I want. Design-wise, it would be nicer to live within the confines of SABnzbd+ itself).

Thanks for any input/support/ideas. This is an awesome piece of software, and I'd like to add to its greatness if I can...

Anyone?

On a similar topic, is there any way to add a new page to the web interface (not customize existing pages)? It seems pretty hardcoded.

I was thinking if I could add another page, I could add an RSS-formatted page (to solve my problem).

Your best option is probably going to be to wait for 0.5 and use the expanded api. Parse it for whatever data you want, store it however you want, generate a new rss feed however you want.

Thanks inpheaux. That would imply building something outside SABnzbd that consumes the API data, which is cool, I will probably do that (when 0.5 comes out). But I was just wondering if there would be some extensibility (plugins?) to allow me to build a new web/rss page that appears to belong to the web interface.

But that's OK, I'll go with a second localhost (IIS cos that's what I know) with a page that consumes the API data and reformats it into a new RSS feed.

Cheers,
Andy.

A plugin system is being thought about, but is still a long way off I'm afraid.
