Last post I used the Opera browser to create clickable pages for use with the PC Zapper. I stated it actually ment using Opera web browser as a front end for the PC zapper (just as I created the script for the
GBPVR to use PCZapper as a VCR earlier).
Now let's explore this a little further.
There's quite some sites that use RSS feeds for links to news items or direct video access or whatever. No way to watch them on your tv-screen. Not yet. But with Opera, new possibilities emerge.
On
rss2html.com you can easily convert an RSS link into a web-page. (Try, it's realy self-explanatory) And with Opera, you can click your way through the links in these pages. The link that's created is easily imported into (a container for) pc zapper. Now, since you associated the htm and html extentions to opera plugin (see previous post), you easily browse through your rss feeds the way you want it: from your couch, on your TV-set!
You can even take this one step further: in
another post I talked about RSS, VCR and torrents. Imagine, on your zapper, you click through an RSS feed from a torrent-tracker, this autodownloads the torrent you clicked and when it's finished downloading, you access it from your couch... Isn't life a wonder?
Happy Zapping!
