Clean your feeds with Yahoo! Pipes
One of the coolest things about Kinoma software is its strong support for standards. Kinoma has always blazed the trail in supporting web and media standards on mobile.
The benefit of using standards is that Kinoma software works with hundreds of other standards-based products and web services. One great web services you can use with Kinoma Player is Yahoo! Pipes.
For example, let’s say you find a really interesting podcast feed that mixes blog entries and podcasts in the same feed. That’s generally considered a no-no, and it’s a problem since Kinoma Player 4 EX is a media player and so doesn’t support text.
The solution? Use Yahoo! Pipes or similar “feed remix” tools to create a feed that just contains stuff that Kinoma Player 4 EX can play. Here’s how:
- Go to pipes.yahoo.com and create a pipe
- Add a Sources > Fetch Feed module, and enter the URL to the source feed
- Add an Operators > Filter module, and “permit” the format extensions you want
- Add an Operators > Sort module and sort descending by date
- Connect everything up as shown below
Neat, huh? And that’s just the tip of the iceberg — what can you do with Yahoo! Pipes and Kinoma Player?
