RSS Batch Process Configuration

UJB,
I promise to not post anymore of these messages. This is another person that had a valid feed but wouldn't work in Firefox and is asking for help.

Here is the text of the discussion.


Anyway, the problem of Live Bookmark is actually a bug of Firefox. You may do some workarounds to make the Live Bookmark work. I understand that you have been annoyed by this issue, and I just want to tell you - it is not your fault

Since your original feed is valid, I will use it as the example.

This is the first item found:

Currently, there is no <link> element in this item and the <guid> element is not a PermaLink.

You may add a <link> element and change the <guid> element to be a PermaLink in the every item. The URLs of <link> and <guid> should be the same as the URL of <enclosure>.
Code:
<link>http://www.djdavecee.com/podcasts/radio/smcshow220.mp3</link>

Code:
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.djdavecee.com/podcasts/radio/smcshow220.mp3</guid>


After doing these, I think the Live Bookmark will work.

Read on - he found more - Pastro...

Some more things in the original feed that may cause problems have been found.

<?xml-stylesheet href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~d/styles/rss2enclosuresfull.xsl" type="text/xsl" media="screen"?> and <?xml-stylesheet href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~d/styles/itemcontent.css" type="text/css" media="screen"?> should be removed since they should not be used in the original feed.

On the other hand, <atom10:link xmlns:atom10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" rel="self" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/SoulDamnPhisticatedRadioShow" type="application/rss+xml" /> is not correct. You may either remove it or change the href to http://www.djdavecee.com/podcasts/radio/...odcast.rss, but removing it is recommended.

And a couple more -- Pastro..

The above feed example did not come from EWA.....not sure where it came from......the person states since your first feed was valid they will use it as an example.....

Currently, there is no <link> element in this item and the <guid> element is not a PermaLink.


You may add a <link> element and change the <guid> element to be a PermaLink in the every item. The URLs of <link> and <guid> should be the same as the URL of <enclosure>.
Code:
<link>http://www.djdavecee.com/podcasts/radio/smcshow220.mp3</link>

Code:
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.djdavecee.com/podcasts/radio/smcshow220.mp3</guid>

If you are using the latest patch the channel link is there. The feed is now 100% compliant with the quid as permalink=false......if it were true the link would not be a guid but would be the same url as the link for the item.

After doing these, I think the Live Bookmark will work.

Latest batch from yesterday is 100% compliant....if it still isn't working in FireFox (it works in mine for completed feeds) then they need to fix Firefox.

That post was some web surfing trying to find whether there were firefox issues with live bookmarks. It's sounds like some people are going through some headaches and coding workarounds to get it to work.


I might try to see if any of the developers at Mozilla want to take a look at the EWA feed to see why it doesn't work in firefox live bookmarks. It does seem like a Firefox issue since your feeds are validating 100%.

Can you reproduce the problems I'm having? Wouldn't want to go off at half-cock if the problem I'm having is to do with some weirdness in my settings...

Edited to add: good grief! Just checked the link - and now it's working (although only in filtered mode - and then only on completed recordings). But it's progress...

Interesting. Completed recordings was the only one that worked on my setup (Thunderbird) prior to the last patch which then somehow fixed the pending recordings. Thunderbird doesn't verify on the unfiltered thread.
You tried all of the other filtered threads and the only one that works is completed?

[liteswap]

Correct - I'm using the filter parameters as set out on UJB's RSS Wiki posting.

Ok...try the attached......when I added the channel link to make the completed recordings 100% it messed up feeds that had nothing to return. This patch addresses that.

There may be an issue with the pending filter for FireFox....the post date on the items is in the future....it passes validation fine with a warning that some readers may not like it.....

My guess is that FireFox will not like the feeds that do not contain any item info such as the deleted filter.....there is an item but there is no info since there is nothing to put into it.....this passes feed validation without an issue.....works in stand alone readers.......

Sorry to take so long coming back on this - been busy

I've updated the two dlls and I get the same result as before...

Try the latest release build 1.1 that was just put out today.....RSS now supports enclosures for recorded programmes. Read the wiki for information.

Strewth, it's been a month - where did April go?

And sadly, it's the same story: I stopped the service, installed new version, restarted the service - and the result's the same. Now I feel guilty, UJB....
