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:

Download the ZIP file from the releases page
Extract the contents to the root of your SD card, ensuring the path "SD://apps/rssmii/boot.dol" is created
Create a "feeds.xml" file at the root of your SD card (refer to instructions below)
Launch the homebrew through the Homebrew Channel and follow the on-screen prompts
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!

In order to create feeds.xml file, please download RSSFeedsCreator.bat (only works on Windows). If you need help, contact us at [email protected] (RSSFeedsCreator - v1.0.2)

RSSMii v1.3.1 - Revived

Added URL encoding - RSS feeds with spaces and other characters as the title should now work, which probably was the reason people were not getting RSS updates
Cleaned up a lot of the code.
