The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real, no sympathy for the devil, keep that in mind .... by the ticket take the ride.

I watch a few video feeds via RSS on the EVA. It's really easy to do actually. An example would be watching something on Revision3's site.

First, go to the site and find the Video RSS feed with a supported file type link for it (on Rev3 it's called Vidcasting feed and in this example I will use WMV Large).

http://www.revision3.com/indigital

If you go to the above link, look on the right side and you will see the Vidcasting links. Click on the link with the file type you want and the address you need will be in the address bar of the browser. Now there are 3 ways to do this, the hard way (through the EVA interface), the easy way (through the web interface) or the easiest (by editing the rss.txt file directly).

EVA Interface

Go to Internet Media and choose add RSS feed. Enter the url to the feed via the remote and name it. When done, choose Refresh List and the one you added will be the last one on the list.

Web Interface

Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your EVA in the address bar. This will open a menu that you can control the EVA through. Browse to the Internet Media area and add an RSS feed from there.

Edit rss.txt

This is the easiest, look on your share where the EVA stores it's configuration files. There is a directory named RSS. Inside that directory is a file called rss.txt which contains the list of feeds and their urls. Just add the link there following the format of the other entries. So for Indigital from Rev3, the entry would look like this:

"Video Podcast Indigital" "h**p://revision3.com/indigital/feed/wmv-large" (replace the ** with tt)

After editing the txt file, you will need to refresh the list on the EVA menu.

On the second 2 ways to add the feeds, you can right click on the feed link and choose copy shortcut. Then you can paste them into either the web interface or the txt file.

Hope that explains how to do this. Like I said, I watch a lot of vidcasts via the EVA. And in the newer firmware betas, they are adding support for more file types (I've been bugging them for XviD and MVK support).

I've been using the Miro application to subscribe / download a bunch of RSS videos and podcasts and then watch them on my EVA8000.

I just add the Miro download folder to my shares list and then EVA scans all the new episodes whenever they get downloaded automatically. There are thousands of RSS feeds to choose from some even in HD. Could also do this with my iTunes but didn't want to sync the HD / SD video files. Give it a try, it works great for me.

Agreed, I also stream RSS through my EVA8000 but for some of the non-streamable stuff like Rocketboom / NASA HD or videos I also sync to my iPod (now Zune) I find using Miro or iTunes more convenient.
