Creating a CNN RSS app

Click on the CNN RSS app within your app gallery to add it, and fill in the app details as follows:

A Name is required for the app and an optional Description for it.
Select the News category of your choice from the dropdown list.
Choose how many posts you want to display by configuring the Maximum News Posts.
Configure the slide duration of each post (minimum is 5 seconds) by configuring the Slide Duration.
Optionally, enable the toggle to display the image of the post. Disabling it will display only the text of the post.
Choose the refresh rate of the RSS app. This sets the time interval that will be used by the app in order to update the posts from the feed.
Select the Font Size, the Font Color and the Background Color of your RSS app.
Set the Default Duration that the app will appear in a playlist.
You can set the Play From/Play Until parameters. In other words, you can select the expiration date, which means that you can choose the exact date and time that this app will play in your playlist. We recommend selecting the “Always” and “Forever” settings for the app to never expire.
Click Save and your app is ready to use.
