A request came in from our Get Satisfaction site asking how to add a feed to a bundle on YomoMedia.com. Here are step-by-step instructions.
This assumes a bundle has been created, and you have an RSS feed link you want to add to it. Our example is MacBreak Weekly, a featured podcast on Twit.tv
1) XML Feed URL
Copy the RSS feed url to the clipboard. You can right-click the RSS link, or view the feed url in your browser, and copy the link from the address bar. The location of the feed url is different from one site to another. Look for the RSS badge, and follow that to find feed links.
RSS feeds are indicated by this icon
For our feed, the url looks like this: feed://leoville.tv/podcasts/mbw.xml
2) Add Feed to YomoMedia
Log in to YomoMedia.com, and in the upper left of the browser, click the New Feed button. Paste the XML url into the field and click the ADD button.
3) Put Feed Into a Bundle
YomoMedia will automatically load the feed on the right-hand side of your browser. At the top right, across from the feed title, click the small gear icon. A menu will appear showing your bundles. Click any bundle name to put the feed into it. TIP: You can put a feed into more than one bundle at the same time. Just click more bundle names.
4) Download Feed to Device
Your feed will automatically be set for download to your device at the next feed update. On your device, you may manually update your subscriptions to download your new feed right away. TIP: You can update specific bundles only, to save download time. Once updated, your new feed should appear on your device in the bundle you selected in step 3.
5) Download Media to Device
NOTE: The text of feed summaries are downloaded automatically, but the media files are not always so, depending on how you have configured the YomoMedia client on your device (this is to save on data charges). The podcast itself (audio or video media) may need to be downloaded manually. Select one of the podcasts, and click the item to display the feed detail.
