RSSMii is a tool that enables users to receive updates from RSS feeds directly on their Wii through the Wii Message Board.

The tool reads a "feeds.xml" file located in the root of the SD card to subscribe to the feeds listed. Users can update their subscriptions at any time by editing the feeds.xml file and relaunching RSSMii. Additionally, the program offers the option to set a custom update interval for each feed individually.

Features

• Nearly an unlimited number of subscribable feeds
• Configurable interval for checking feeds for new entries (avoid using 1 minute, as this can lead to empty entries on your Message Board)
• Runs every download tasks over 32000 times, so if you stop getting updates (after a looong time), just rerun RSSMii

Supported Feed Types

• RDF/RSS (RSS 1.*)
• RSS2
• ATOM

Installation

To use RSSMii:

1. Download the ZIP file from the releases page
2. Extract the contents to the root of your SD card, ensuring the path "SD://apps/rssmii/boot.dol" is created
3. Create a "feeds.xml" file at the root of your SD card (refer to instructions below)
4. Launch the homebrew through the Homebrew Channel and follow the on-screen prompts
5. To uninstall, use the RSSMii Remover tool or refer to the instructions on wii.guide.

You can create a feeds.xml with the Feeds.xml Creator.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss>
    <feed name="RC24 Medium">https://medium.com/feed/riiconnect24</feed>
    <feed name="Nintendo UK">https://www.nintendo.co.uk/news.xml</feed>
</rss>
NOTE: For special characters you need to use a CDATA tag:

<feed name="Example-Feed"><![CDATA[http://example.com/rss-feed&someparam=true]]></feed>

TODO

• Change server URL through feeds.xml

Changelog

RSSMii v1.4.1 - Revived Latest

• Add a choice of intervals for receiving RSSMii updates. You can set an interval ranging from 5 to 180 minutes (3 hours).
• All updates to the RSS feed should appear now using the If-Modified-Since header date (server-side, doesn't affect the homebrew app). Now you should get those RSS updates that were previously missing!
• Previously, the RSSMii updates would only download 100 times then stop, and you would have to relaunch the RSSMii app to resubscribe. Now, it runs the maximum amount of times possible! (32,767 times).
• Rewrote the remover
• Other minor improvements to the RSSMii mail downloading (server-side, doesn't affect the homebrew app)

Thanks to @Brawl345 for making this update possible!
