RSS Feed from local source

Hey!

I want to play an RSS feed in a ticker zone from a local network source.

I just checked the function with an online feed (for example "CNN") - that works fine.

But when i copy the same *.xml file to a local source on an Win PC the player doesn't play it: for example "\\192.168.1.10\rss\test.xml"

whats wrong?

    The feed url \\192... is a UNC type of path, which is not mentioned in the BA documentation.

    Typically, an HTTP server would be required, which you could run on the Win PC, or use the player's built-in web server.

    Should you decide to to store the xml on the player's SD card root directory, you could also access it with file:///test.xml

    Does anybody know if this has changed?  I was hoping to use a unc type of path on a windows server share as opposed to going through the process of standing up a webserver for this.
