Local RSS feed server almost implemented

The Local RSS feed server is almost done.

To get this relative big feature implemented, the application needed some extra features as save configuration, some extra threading layers, running in tray on startup.

I started to implement a RSS feed truncation feature, which can take an existing RSS feed from the web and parse it to only return the top X items.
This feature works now and so does the  configuration feature. I only need some more testing with the local files on the RSS feed. Feed image/art is supported along with the already implemented features like media file tags. Streaming media is also supported via the local RSS Server.

Release will come soon.
