Thanks for the replies guys Poulh - I'll be giving what you suggested a try today, it made quite a bit of sense to me so hopefully I'll able to get something working. Thanks very…

Glad to help... When designing the app you may want to consider making a separate object that goes out and gets the xml... then has methods like getHeading getLink getSummary th…

The programmer behind NetNewsWire has some sample code for an RSS reader at http://ranchero.com/cocoa/rss/.

Thanks for that link, that is a great little app he has done. I now thinking that I might use the Parser contained within that app for my own reader (as it is Open Source) saving …

Has anyone had any success compiling the source code? I get errors during compile with Xcode and end up with a broken app.

Success! Here's what you need to do: 1. Create a new account named "johnd". Log into this new account. 2. Download the FFMpeg source code from http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/cvs/. I…
