Hi all,
I've cobbled together an RSS Feed source for use in VDMX by merging the SimpleBlockText patch that comes with VDMX and a stripped down version of the default "My RSS Feed" patch. So far I'm able to input a feed address in a text field and use the font controls from the SimpleBlockText patch...all inside VDMX
I've hit a wall and I need some help. I'd like to "drive" the feed update and article list via VDMX BPM so I can beat sync the feed text... I'm not sure how to do this. I've had some vague ideas though none have worked or they aren't currently possible (i.e. replacing "patch time" with a measure count from the VDMX clock). I suppose I could dump the RSS feed contents as a .txt and then use it in the normal manner... but that's not exactly sexy!
I'm hoping to use this as part of a talk I'm giving to a Multimedia Arts & Sciences class so any timely advice would be greatly appreciated.
oh ya... and please message me if you'd like a copy of this thing to play about with.
cheers,
