Open a Feed

Inception uses the Feed Viewer to display content gathered by a feed. You can drag content from a feed viewer into a playlist to make the content available to external systems such as character generators.

To open a feed in the Feed Viewer panel

1.      To select the type of feed to open, do one of the following:

    Desktop Computer — in the main toolbar, point to the icon for the type of feed to open.

    Mobile Device — in the main toolbar, tap the icon for the type of feed to open.

The available feeds are as follows:

    Main_Toolbar_-_Facebook.jpg — Facebook 

    Main_Toolbar_-_Flickr.jpg — Flickr 

    Main_Toolbar_-_Instagram.jpg — Instagram 

    Main_Toolbar_-_Mass_Relevance.jpg — Mass Relevance 

    Main_Toolbar_-_RSS.jpg — RSS 

    Main_Toolbar_-_Sina_Weibo.jpg — Sina Weibo 

    Main_Toolbar_-_Twitter.jpg — Twitter 

    Main_Toolbar_-_Wires.jpg — Wires 

A list of feeds of the selected type opens. Managed feeds display at the top of the list. The addition of a magnifying glass to a feed icon identifies the feed as a Search-Based feed.

When the Feed Viewer panel is too narrow, some feed titles may not display at the top of the Feed Viewer panel. Close some feeds to display the hidden feed titles. Desktop computer users can click the Undock icon to view the current feed in a new panel.

If Inception encounters any errors while gathering content for a feed, the Feed Viewer panel displays the errors just below the toolbar.
