Creating a Custom RSS app
Click on the Custom RSS app within your app gallery to add it, or click this link to quickly create a new one and fill in the app details as follows:
- A name and an optional description are required for the app.
- Paste the URL of the RSS feed that you want to display.
- Optionally, add a default image to be displayed by pasting the URL of that image when there is no image on the feed.
- Choose how many posts you want to display.
- Configure the slide duration of each post (minimum is 5 seconds).
- Optionally, enable the toggle to display the image of the post. Disabling it will display only the text of the post.
- Choose the RSS app’s refresh rate. This sets the time interval the app will update the posts from the feed.
- Select the font size, font color, and background color for your RSS app.
- Set the Default Duration so that the app will appear in a playlist.
- Click Save and your app is ready to use.
By enabling this option, you can set media Availability. In other words, you can select a future and an expiration date, which means you can pick the exact date and time this media will be available to play on your screens. For more details, please check the Media Availability guide.
