RSS Batch Process Configuration

[UncleJohnsBand]

We have discovered, although should have though of this before :o , that you should not run the GenRss.exe process from the web\bin directory of GBPVR since it will cause conflicts with the web server which lives inside the GBPVRRecordingService.

To eliminate this isssue the batch process should be run from a seperate folder....it can be anywhere on your PC. I will be defaulting the directory to be RSS for the GenRss.exe and config and the Rss.dll files.

If you are not using the batch RSS generator GenRss.exe then you can safely remove the GenrRss.exe and GenRss.exe.config files from the web\bin directory.

For the batch utility to run you need to have 3 of the gbpvr dll files in this directory as well......I will not include them with the distribution.....you can copy them from the gbpvr directory. As an alternative you can simply install the GenRss.exe, config file, Rss.dll and TartugDN.dll file in the gbpvr directory and and you will not need to copy dll's any where.

To run the GenRss.exe batch process you need these files in the directory:

GBPVRBackendCommon.dll
GBPVRPublic.dll
System.Data.SQLite.dll

Rss.dll
TortugaDN.dll
GenRss.exe
GenRss.exe.config

Attached is the latest version of the RSS Library and GenRss.exe program.

If you only use the dynamic RSS feeds do you still need to move files around?

Nope.....if you don't use the batch GenRss.exe then you can safely remove it and the GenRss.exe.config file from the web\bin directory.

Just leave the rss.dll file there along with the GBPVR dll's that are normally there for running EWA.

What am I doing wrong here? Have created a Live Bookmark in Firefox, customised the URL from the sticky (ie http://yourlocation:yourport/gbpvr/public/rss.aspx) and just get a 'failure to load' error. I used the same port as the standard Web access to EWA as 'yourport'.

Normal access to the EWA Web pages works fine so the URL and connectivity are OK. Do I have to do anything in the EWA to enable RSS?

Thanks

From the wiki here are the allowed options:

Code:

http://youraddress:yourport/gbpvr/public/rss.aspx?filter=

completed
in-progress
pending
conflict
failed
deleted

For example

Code:

http://youraddress:yourport/gbpvr/public/rss.aspx?filter=pending

Does the same thing happen when you filter the url....add the ?filter=completed on the end of the url?

You should have an RSS.dll file in the web\bin directory.

Let me know.

Yes, that's what I thought - and is the config I have had from the start: rss.dll in web/bin and filtered or not, I get 'Live bookmark feed failed to load'. I'm sure it's user error but I'm damned if I can figure out what it might be...

[pastro]

From the machine that has has gbpvr can you run
http://localhost:7647/gbpvr/public/rss.aspx

Stupid question, but you have restarted the recording service at some point?

Ok....what is a Live Bookmark? I am looking in Firefox and I don't see that option anywhere.....:confused:

Edit: Ok I figured out what you meant by Live Bookmarks. Did you try deleting your bookmark and recreating it?

Edit2: What version of the rss.DLL are you running? Right-click on it and look at the properties.

Edit3: Do you also have the TortugaDN.dll in the web\bin directory?

[liteswap]

Yes, I recreated the bookmark a few times, just in case. I have restarted the recording service.

Creating the live bookmark locally produced the same result, so comms seems not to be the problem. Both DLLs are in web/bin, both dated 22/2/07, rss.dll is version 1.2.2609.41526.

Thanks again for your help.
