MRSS Launcher

Introduction

This service allows you to launch the Media Station X application directly with an MRSS feed. Optionally, a banner and/or background can be set. Additionally, it is possible to set a plugin URL to customize the playback of video/audio items (e.g. to integrate ads and/or tracking). Last but not least, it is possible to set a dictionary URL to adapt the plugin user interface to the MRSS feed language. The launcher parameters will be set as URL start parameter as base64-encoded JSON.

  • This service uses a special interaction plugin, for more information, please have a look at the wiki page MRSS Feeds.
  • You can also register the launched URL with a URL shortener service to set it up via the application start parameter input. For more information, please have a look at the wiki page Setup Start Parameter → URL Shortener Services.
  • For this service, Media Station X 0.1.146 or higher is needed.

Note: Please note that no URLs or feed files are transferred to MSX servers. Loading and processing is done exclusively in the interaction plugin.
