[Omaha.pm] [OT] Parsing XML with command line XSLT xsltproc...
I listen to quit a few podcasts, but some of their internal MP3
title/album/etc fields messed up. My podcatcher (bashpodder -
http://lincgeek.org/bashpodder/) uses the xsltproc command line tool
to parse the RSS feed for the URLs for the MP3s.
When I try to parse an RSS feed with my XSL file (see below), I get
only the first RSS entry field:
xsltproc parse.xsl http://leoville.tv/podcasts/sn.xml
Any idea how to modify the XSL file to work on all RSS entries?
Once I get that, it's fairly easy to use mp3info2 to fix the internal
MP3 fields so my player shows usable information.
On a side note, this site was a good primer on XSL:

Any others that people have found helpful?
Thanks,
Dan
