yep, i still use rss for youtube and twitter. here are my settings: YOUTUBE - in case of your own username: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/YOURUSERNAME/uploads XML ELEMENT SETTINGS story -> entry title > title description > media:description link > link xml image > media:thumbnail thats all you'll need for youtube and for Twitter in case of your username http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=YOURUSERID The XML Elements are the default settings i hope thats what you were looking for! it still works fine for me.

@mysps are you using the Buzztouchmods rss plugin on self hosted or is this a custom plugin? I wasn't aware of an RSS plugin for BT 2.0 ....? cheers

Me too ... just thought I might have missed something! I thought I read somewhere that someone had the old 1.5 plugin working on BT 2.0 but I could have dreamt it :)

Probably dreamt it :) Just kidding.. If you still have 1.5 you can do it and just fix the errors so that it compiles with iOS6 and you're set. IanPiano created a template if you're interested. https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=D25107F1F57B493DBF50E56

@mysps ... Thanks, I'll take a look. So what about 1.5 RSS feeds for Android - anyone cracked that nut yet ;) Hoping to see a few new plugins that will bring back the RSS functionality. cheers

Maybe this is old news but I've been able to accomplish putting in a Twitter feed by adding a Screen that is a Custom URL with the following at url: https://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=user-name-here&original_referer=https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines

Thanks @Pavo, Always good to find new ways of doing things! Since twitter stopped RSS feeds I've been using a json to rss script. It works well, it'll be on the forums here somewhere or I can chase it up for you if you need it. cheers Darrel

@ictugy, As a newbie I'm interested in anything that might be a better way of accomplishing the task... I'm sure TwiTTer will change things as soon as I get an app out, that's my luck :) I tried searching for json rss and can't find it.... If you can track it down that would be GREAT!

Dug it up , https://github.com/thomasyung/twitter-json-to-rss You basically set up the script on your server and then grab an RSS feed from your server into the app using the RSS BT plugin. Cheers Darrel
