Add an RSS/Atom feed

[hashhar]

Add an RSS/Atom feed so that people can subscribe to the series as a podcast.

I am looking into implementing this and may this ready by the next weekend (exams coming up).

I don't know the best practices regarding creating an XML feed, so I have currently planned to add a class that generates an XML file conforming to the RSS schema (and maybe an Atom schema additionaly) using something like XMLWriter.

We already have iCal, webcal and Google Calendar, but the RSS & Atom feeds also a good idea

You could try using something like cloudscribe.Syndication?

This is the error that I'm getting when trying to run dotnet restore, I don't know why?

dotnet --version is 1.0.0-preview3-004056

D:\GitHub\_Forks\live.asp.net\src\live.asp.net\live.asp.net.xproj(7,3): error MSB4019:

Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

You need to download:

    "version": "1.0.0-preview2-1-003177"

preview3 is msbuild based .NET Core and this project doesn't support that yet.

@davidfowl Thanks. Got it working.

I'm sorry for the delay. Finally had some time to look into it.

It seems I have two options, the simple one is to use the YouTubeShowsService class to get a ShowList and create an XML document from it. I may also add some functions to YouTubeShowsService to gather some metadata like description and will try to add a field for the show notes as well.

The other option is to use something like cloudscribe.Syndication. The advantage with cloudscribe is that it supports a lot features and may be easy and familiar for others who will work on this code but it also brings a lot of features that I don't think we'll be needing like categories and similar stuff.

For the time being I'm going with the first alternative.

@hishamco I have it working locally but had a question? I am using the IShowsService.GetRecordedShowsAsync() method which calls into YouTubeShowsService.GetRecordedShowsAsync() method.

Also, I don't know if the GET endpoint will work or a new View has to be created? I couldn't check it on my end. By work, I mean if the url live.asp.net is pasted into Feedly, it is able to detect the feed.

The results from the API are paginated, how can I combine all the pages of output. It seems you receive a moreShowsUrl pointing to a URL that can be hit but how do I use it?

See my approach at #105

How is this still outstanding?
