This information is visible to your friends when you share your RSS feed with them. If you’re the first to recommend an episode, your alias appears in the Recently Recommended panel. Once created, your alias cannot be changed. 5 Enter a title and description for your RSS feed. Your logo appears with your RSS feed under My Favorite Shows. 7 After you click Submit, Adobe Media Player displays the URL that represents your RSS feed. Copy the URL and paste it into an e-mail message to share it with your friends. Tell your friends your alias so they know which shows you recommended. To view your personal RSS feed at any time, click My Favorites > My Recommended Episodes. As you continue to recommend episodes, Adobe updates your RSS feed, so it always contains the latest shows that you recommend. Share a personal RSS feed After you create a personal RSS feed, the URL to your personal RSS feed appears on the My Favorites > My Recommended Episodes tab. To share a personal feed, copy the URL for your personal RSS feed into an e-mail and send it to your friends. You can copy and paste the following text into your e-mail message: I want to share my favorite videos in Adobe Media Player with you. Here’s the RSS feed for my favorite videos: <paste your URL here> To see my favorite videos, copy the URL, open Adobe Media Player, and press Ctrl+U/Cmd-U. Click my feed to play it.

Managing new episodes When you add a show to My Favorites, new episodes for that show are presented in the My New Episodes tab.

You can control the number of episodes presented in My New Episodes at one time. You can control whether to present episodes in chronological order or to present the most recent episodes first. If you prefer to view only selected episodes, you can choose to not show any episodes in My New Episodes. [. . . ] 2 Under Privacy, click Clear Passwords.
