RSS databases - caputure whole stream

[bhead]

Would it possible to also inlude a way to store the addional data that comes with an RSS stream in addtion to the standard Link & Description data?

RSS is a great way to capture dynamic data and the RSS database create function in XL woork really well. However, it only stores the standard Link & Description data for the feed.

Thanks

lets go by the original rss you post in the bugs section,

http://video.google.com/videofeed?type= ... output=rss

what would you like from that rss?

Hi Steve,

For the Google videos feed specifically, the data I would like to store for each item is the "url" value in the "<media:content>" tag.

I was kinda hoping there would be a general way to do this as it seems all RSS feeds are different (apart from the Link & Description fields).

Thanks for looking at this.

Hi
I always wanted a comic RSS in Xlobby, but the picture never showed up, so my request is that pictures should show up somehow in the feed so XL will show the picture in the databse.

example

<xml>
- <rss>
- <channel>
<title>B.C.</title>
