RSS feed with current status

Hi,

Would it be possible to implement a new XML RSS output feed with the current status of Sabnzbd? Then you could insert that feed into a RSS reader, Firefox for example, that displays the current status. A few  examples that could be shown;

-  SabNZBd Status  -
Status: Downloading/paused
-  Current job  -
Current: Job_name
Downloaded X GB
Job total Y GB
ETA: 07-05-2008 22:45
-  Que  -
Total in que XY GB
ETA Que : 08-05-2008 9.45

Something like that!
I would find it verry usefull, and it would make third-party addons unnecesairy, or if you insist on using them, it makes their life much easier(or at least the lives of the developers ;) )

It's not really something for an RSS feed, I think.

For utilities there's already:

Code: Select all

Oke, but it's not readable by rss readers, so i still would have to use an 3th party add on, and thats exactly what i am trying to prevent!
