How to add a new RSS Feed

Just run

 rss add http://www.example.com/feed.rss

via telnet.

Use

 rss list

to display all known rss feeds

Filtering RSS Feeds

In most cases you do not want to download the full RSS-Feed. Bitflu provides a simple filter via the whitelist command.

First you must get the internal rss id of the feed that you would like to edit. Just execute

 rss list

Example output:

 bitflu> rss list
 Registered RSS feeds:
  rss-a0045e8420c5440032224789a0a0f1739bbab2ce : http://rss.example.com/104

To display the current whitelist you would execute

 bitflu> rss rss-a0045e8420c5440032224789a0a0f1739bbab2ce show

Example output:

 Name/Url      : http://rss.example.com/104
 Update delay  : each 2700 seconds
 Next download : soon
 Whitelist     : soundtrack|ost

So the current whitelist of this RSS-Feed is set to 'Soundtrack|OST' (whitelist is a regexp!). Editing the whitelist is easy, just execute something like this:

 bitflu> rss rss-a0045e8420c5440032224789a0a0f1739bbab2ce whitelist "soundtrack|ost|music"

RSS History

Bitflu keeps an internal history of recently seen RSS items for each feed. Bitflu will not even try to re-download known rss items. You can display the history with

 rss history

To delete the history execute:
