Feature description

I would like to add a local rss file.
For example with file:///home/user/myrssfile.rss

With this I could use my generated rss files without an http web server.

Hey @Cyrix126, thanks for opening the issue. This should be possible, let me poke around a bit and get back to you.

I am interested in this, also an auto-refresh option

just made a proof of concept. It works but didn't go enough deep into the implications.

Apologies for the delay here @Cyrix126 , I will attempt to take a look at implementing this soon.

@Cyrix126 @r3k2 could you elaborate a bit more on the use case here? What kinds of things do you use that generate RSS files on your local filesystem? I'm just trying to get a better idea of the issue. Thanks.

Sometime content from internet does not offer rss. Instead, you use a script to scrap the data and generate an rss file. If I can load a local rss file, I don't need a web server to serve it but could use it directly, reducing a step.
