please help, my weather works, scripts work, it just wont stream anything...

bump, someone please give me a copy of your home.xml and rssfeeds.xml that's working...

is this that same RSS URL that wasn't working before?
cuz i thought the issue was the way ESPN did their feeds, not necessarily XBMC itself. have you tried putting like the default feed (X-S Scene News) in? cuz if that works you should be a-ok.
also, are ya using 16x9? cuz i haven't properly developed that stuff in PM3 Mod yet, and would actually appreciate your help if you'd like to help beta-test it. i figure like 95% of the code ought to be the same as the 4x3 stuff. in the current builds, the 16x9 Home.xml has absolutely nothing done to it, which kinda blows.
finally, i am not entirely sure, but i think one of those online RSS aggregator services may be a way to "transform" the ESPN feeds into something XBMC can use. will look into it more later today, since i wanna build a nice "all my feeds in one place" feed with one of them services

ok m8, i am not sure why it's not working, but i started working on a modified home.xml for 16x9 users.
try this one, lemme know how it works:
http://www.skinjob.net/tsp/Home.xml
the ONLY customizations it current implements are the custom backdrop graphics directories and the colorized RSS feeds.

ill definately test it for ya, but this is a different one. ive tried multiple feeds, including the original one. none of them worked. ill try that last one right now

okay, i tried and this is what i got again
