Title: RSS auto-downloader
Post by: wild_oscar on February 04, 2009, 02:22:39 PM: I am thinking about developing an RSS auto-downloader option. A user subscribes to an RSS with ed2k links (eg: from a radio station that provides e2dk links to their contents) and the program automatically sends the links to amule.

Would this feature be possible to implement in amule directly (eg: as a plugin)? I am mainly a Java developer, but am open to sharing ideas for this project with the team.

we don't have plugin support and I think we won't include an rss reader into aMule. Please use an external reader instead.

If you're not afraid of network stuff, you could work on a separate application written in Java which provides this functionality. You would have to implement the EC protocol, which we use for the communication of the main application and external clients. If you are interested, I'll try to assist you with this.

Isn't that a bit much effort for such a simple usecase? I'd just write to the ED2KLinks file, like ed2k.exe.

Yeah, I thought of that myself when I came up with the idea.

I had a doubt, though - is it possible to define the download category in the ed2klinks file?

For instance: ed2k://|file|The_Two_Towers-The_Purist_Edit-Trailer.avi|14997504|965c013e991ee246d63d45ea71954c4d|/:1

Post by: wuischke on February 08, 2009, 01:22:20 PM: I just committed it in revision 9435. It should be in the next tarball. Make sure to tell us when you made progress with your application!

P.S. You can find out about category numbers in amule.conf.

Thank s for the update. I'm actually still considering its development, as the best source of videos I am interested in (tv + english word for subway) is constantly down...
