RSS Feed Manager
RSS feeds are basically text files that contain a list of items of news. Please read out RSS feeds page if you are not sure what RSS is. Repeat Signage's RSS feed manager is designed for creating basic feeds for use in Repeat Signage presentations.
Repeat Signage can display RSS news feeds in RSS 2.0 format. The Repeat Signage RSS feed manager enables you to create RSS feed files that can then be published to local or network drives or on FTP sites so that Repeat Signage player can play them in your presentations. When you change the contents of your feeds with new news, you are re-publish them and Repeat Signage players can then change the RSS feed on screen to display new news items.
Click on the 'Add' button to get started. Use the help on the add screen which will guide you through creating and publishing your first RSS feed.
