Funny Space

Click Funny Space Modules tab button to enter:

This module has the web-browser and two sub media panels: RSS list and Media list (where you can adjust and control download process).

There is a small Open/Hide button on the left side of the joint sub panels, clicking on it will open or hide these sub panels.

Point the cursor on the top left corner of the web browser and the navigation bar will come up. There are five buttons on this bar:

All the buttons listed above function as in other internet browsers, so it makes Funny Space very easy to use. Yet, there are some specific buttons located on the two sub panels (to the right from the Web Browser), which require detailed study.

• Back button. Click it to go to the previously visited Web-page.
• Home button. Click it to return to the Main Page.
• Refresh button. Click it to reload the current Web-page to the browser.
• Stop button. Click it to stop loading a Web-page. It could be useful if a web-page loads too slowly, or when your PC "hangs" while carrying out this operation.
• Forward button. Click it to go to the next visited Web-page.

Sub media panes:

1) RSS List:

In the RSS list you can drag and drop different RSS files from our Web-page. As you do, the checkbox with this RSS name will appear in the list. To work with the RSS set its checkbox.

RSS is a family of web feed formats. The initialism "RSS" is variously used to refer to the following standards:

" Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0), " Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0), " RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0).

RSS formats are specified in XML (a generic specification for data formats). RSS delivers its information as an XML file called an "RSS feed", "webfeed", "RSS stream", or "RSS channel".

• Proseed RSS button. You can proceed the chosen RSS into a podcast. To do it, select what kind of file: audio or video the following RSS contains - choose 'Funny Audio' or 'Funny Video' in the combo box. Then click 'Proceed RSS' button. The selected RSS will be proceeded and the podcasts will appear in the Media list sub panel.
• Export to OPML button. You can export the selected RSS to OPML file: just click 'Export to OPML' button and 'Save As' dialog box will appear. There you can type the name of your file and indicate the path where to save it. Once you are ready - click 'Save' button.
• Clear RSS list button. You can clear the RSS list by clicking 'Clear RSS list' button.
• Choose data type dialog box.

If you right mouse click on the RSS list panel the context menu with the following options will appear:

• Check All Items: Sets all the check boxes in the RSS list.
• Check Selected: Sets only selected check boxes. Note: to select several separate check boxes left mouse click on them keeping Ctrl button pressed. If there are many items in a row: press Shift and click on the 1st and the last item to be selected.
• Select All Items: Selects all items in the RSS list.
• Deselect All Items: Removes the previously made selection.
• Invert Selection: Sets all the unset check boxes and vise versa.

• Delete Items: Removes only selected items from the RSS list.

Note:

Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio or video programs, over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term was originally coined by Ben Hammersley in an article in the Guardian on February 12, 2004 [1], meant as a contraction of "broadcasting" and "iPod".

The term podcast, like 'radio', can mean both the content and the method of delivery. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. Though podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their content, a podcast is distinguished from other formats by its ability to be downloaded automatically using software capable of reading feeds like RSS or Atom.

Note:

OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is an XML format for outlines. Originally developed by Radio UserLand as a native file format for an outliner application, it has since been adopted for other uses, the most common being to exchange lists of RSS feeds between RSS aggregators.

The OPML specification defines an outline as a hierarchical, ordered list of arbitrary elements. The specification is fairly open which makes it suitable for many types of list data.

2) Multimedia list:

• Download checked button. Once RSS gets proceeded you can select and download a podcast. Select one or more podcasts by setting the proper check boxes. Then click on 'Download checked' button. The download process will begin.
• Stop downloading button. To stop the download, click this button.
• Clear media list button. To remove the podcasts from the Podcast list sub panel - click 'Clear Media list' button.

If you right mouse click on the Media list panel the context menu with the following options will appear:

• Check All Items: Sets all the check boxes in the Media list.
• Uncheck Items: Unsets all the check boxes in the Media list.
• Clear List: Removes all the items from the Media list.
• Delete Items: Removes only selected items. Note: to select several separate check boxes left mouse click on them keeping Ctrl button pressed. If there are many items in a row: press Shift and click on the 1st and the last item to be selected.
