| Post subject: | Mythnews not updating and some errors in feeds |
Hi, Mythnews has not updated any RSS feeds since I installed R5E50. It did update on a previous version. Any ideas why? I have checked the update period - it was set to 30, I updated to 60 with no effect. Also, several of the feeds show "unable to download", for example Fark and Dilbert. I assume that they dont provide RSS anymore - am I right? Thanks. Paul |

for example Fark and Dilbert. I assume that they dont provide RSS anymore - am I right? Yes - both those feeds are dead. The new fark one is : http://www.fark.com/fark.rss The new dilbet one is : http://feeds.feedburner.com/tapestrydilbert The fark should be a simple search and replace in... /usr/share/mythtv/mythnews/news-sites.xml The dilbert one though I don't think will work, since I don't think mythnews can display the pictures. -Matt |

Thanks for the feedback. I still can't seem to get this working reliably. I've checked the feeds one by one. Fark was wrong, but all the other feeds I use (CNN, Scotsman, Reuters etc) were right. I checked them by copying the URL into firefox. The exception is a couple of BBC feeds. I deleted and re-added them in MythNews. I rebooted. Theres no errors in the backend logs. But still they don't update. Most strange. Cheers. Paul quaffapint wrote: tuatara wrote: Also, several of the feeds show "unable to download", for example Fark and Dilbert.

I rebooted. Did you uncheck them? I found that after correcting a URL in news-sites.xml the correction wasn't picked up within MythNews unless I unchecked the feed within Setup, backed up a menu, and then went back and re-checked it. HTH Simon |
