Hi. I started a script to make rss feed of what I record on my OSD. I think you may find it useful, so if you want to beta test it, just copy this in a file in the same directory as your .mp4, change some settings to reflect your config, and enjoy! Your lighttd config must have access to your media content. This is really a very basic alpha version, if people like it I may make a binary for it, and maybe a UI for it (list rss feeds on the OSD menu, and when you make a new recording, you can choose in which feed you want to publish it). In this version, I run it manually, but if you want it to run once (or twice) a day, just change the botton section and put it in a loop. Here is the code:
=====================================
#!/bin/sh
#
# Script to generate RSS feed of all movies in a specific folder
# If you want many feed, seperate recordings in different folders.
# TODO: Parse movies names and make different feeds with them
# Expire old movies if they have been feeded
# Create multiple feeds in the same folder, based on filename

if you want to run it permanently, start it in your rc.user, and change the bottom code for this:
while [ 1 ] ; do

sleep 86400
