newboat RSS config and setup

getting newboat up on a raspberry pi was breezy once i realized how to import feeds

thats a brickwall that you hit as soon as you get it installed and try to run it you get the error that you cant open it till you add at least one feed. I already had a bunch of feeds saved in OPML file just needed to air drop it over. BUT THE BIGGEST HEADACHE was it was saying it cant do it.  but heres the deal..

you first need to create a file called urls inside .newsboat  (dot newsboat) then you can enter the command

$ newsboat -i file.opml

***

THE CONFIG

in config make a file called config and inside put this: 

auto-reload yes

browser "open -a Google\\ Chrome %u"

macro y set browser "mpv %u" ; open-in-browser ; set browser "elinks %u"

***

thats my basic config for newsboat it opens in chrome by default with o, if you want mpv press comma then y.

obv install mpv if you dont have it
