google returned the wiki article as the first result (now, after this  
thread). The other I just knew because I already used it. rss  
integration was sort of an afterthought, but it works REALLY well. You  
can basically put in terms and build rss feeds dynamically based on  
any metadata.

I think everyone will have different streaming needs. That's why the  
first option makes a lot of sense to me. I can set it to transcode  
only what I want, open up ONLY the feed to the internet without  
worrying about giving access to all of mythweb when I want someone to  
have access to my rss video feeds.

I need to be able to set up an rss feed just for my daughter, one for  
my son, one for me, one for my roommate, etc. Some of those programs  
overlap. Most of them don't. video2ipod.pl implementation lets me do  
all that without worrying who has access to what.

Maybe a new thread on the users list would have been in order since  
I'm interested in rss video feeds, but I have no interest in the Nokia  
N95 so I've been ignoring the thread.
