RSS Reader

[Jaggy]

In normal mode, when the text content is larger than the screen, the up and down arrows should come up but they didn't (also you can't scroll down to see the rest of the content).

The arrows have always come up for me I just couldn't scroll with the old version

One last thing, I tried to add the GBPVR forum webpage to the list of web pages but it wouldn't display anything... Just has the popup message Start retrieving page.... then locks up.

Hmmm I have never seen this popup message though, maybe a new addition to the version released on the wiki & not in the one sent to me for testing??

I tried a few other sites and some are fine and some are no good. Not sure why.

Thanks again.

*EDIT* Added webpage rss feed text and Log file contents

<webpage>
<title>GBPVR Forum</title>

I just added this & it works fine for me

The new version works much better. Thank You.

Any plans for video?

Not at the moment.

I am surprised that this does not work. Does it happen always or just occasionally? How many lines do you think are missing?

Additionally, it might be a good idea to have arrows that go left and right when more items exist for a particular RSS Feed.

Using left and right arrows should move you through the channels in a feed when in the reading mode.

Opening of the web pages relies on the .NET built in web browser component which is actually IE. Sometimes it happens that this component does not finish web page download. The behavior might depend on the version of IE installed. My experience is that if I try to reload the page usually helps.

Here it loads the GBPVR forum web page with no problems.

I've only tried it with one so far but I'll look for more. Here is the feed

Yep, I understand that... Just thought it might be useful to other users.

I'm still using IE6 that came with WinXP. I'll update my brower and try again.

Thanks.

Just as a FYI I'm still using IE6 as well with WinXP & it is working fine for me.

I understand now. Scrolling is currently only supported for text feeds.

Thanks Jaggy, I won't bother with my browser then. I expect that my problem is related to the fact that I still am using version 1.5.28. When I upgrade next, I'll check it again.

I have uploaded the plugin to the new wiki page. It includes a minor update for better handling of HTML formatted feeds.

That helped get rid of the extra garbage on the fox podcast feed. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the plugin which does it work generally very well.

I have an issue however with the feeds from my public broadcaster. The have the following link format: http://www.sporza.be/cm/sporza/wielrenne...?mode=atom
These links work fine in Firefox, Google etc, but in RSSreader I get "Error Retreiving Feed". Would it be possible to check this out? Thanks a lot.
