What happened to the RSS feed

connesc The new webserver framework dislikes the / at the end of feed/ so type CvH 's info carefully

(Yes ... it caught me out too heh)

Perfect! Can you please put a RSS icon with the "new" link (without "/") sowewhere prominent on the webpage?

Feed display appears to be b0rked again.

It fetches and seems to look properly formatted in a web browser, but won't display in LE/Kodi RSS ticker.

(For both https://libreelec.tv/feed and https://libreelec.tv/feed.xml)

Other feeds work, and I've changed nothing related on my end, so it looks to be a libreelec.tv issue

DEBUG <general>: Thread RSSReader start, auto delete: false

A successful feed has the following DEBUG entry after the encoding line:-

Resurrecting this old thread because I noticed it's still an issue while I was testing a Nightly build install.

To be clear - it's not an issue with the build itself - it's a problem with this website and how it has implemented it's RSS feed and/or a quirk of the way the Kodi RSSReader deals with it.

For whatever reason the inbuilt Kodi RSSReader ticker cannot parse this particular feed, even though it checks out fine on the W3C validator.

Feed Validator Results: https://libreelec.tv/feed.xml

I copied the XML to my local webserver and chopped out all the article entries, in case it was a parsing issue with one post, but even with just the barebones XML feed structure it still failed to parse it.

Just found this thread and was curious about the same thing: since December or so, the LibreELEC Newsfeed in the built-in Kodi RSS Feedtool had stopped and after some testing, it turned out that the Kodi Feed functionality is not able to parse the LibreELEC feed url - so thanks for confirming kurai In fact, if you try to enter https://libreelec.tv/feed.xml into the Kodi RSS mask, it won't let you save and it complains about an unsupported or invalid url - very weird.

Since the LE feed validates properly (as confirmed as well), would this be a bug with the Kodi RSS widget? I know it's a minor issue, but always loved having the latest news posts from LE at the bottom of my TV when using Kodi/LE.

The forum RSS news fetcher has also problems with the rss for some reason. Iam not aware we changed something.

The news feed https://libreelec.tv/feed/ is a valid Atom feed. Atom feeds are not supported by Kodi.

In contrast the board feed https://forum.libreelec.tv/board-feed/ is a valid RSS 2.0 feed and can be shown.

Next website update includes a slightly more recent rss builder, our current jekyll-feed (0.6) was from 2016, updated to 0.17.0 from 2022

Atom seems to be the better format, it is only not supported by Kodi.

found a workaround that we can generate a atom and a rss feed, looks working

gets deployed soon

Great news CvH

The ticker was usually the way I heard about significant updates/developments first, since I would often miss inbuilt updater notifications and I am otherwise not checking the site/forums all that often ... unless I encounter an issue or just randomly remember to check in, once in a while.

I am very much of the "if it Just Works[tm]" ... leave it alone until it doesn't ... mindset

There are downsides to this - I recently made a query in the Bug Report section about something and it turned out the root cause was me leaving in an old advancedsettings.xml entry that hasn't been relevant/useful for *at least* 3 hardware platform updates that I've gone through

Many thanks also from my side CvH for taking care of this! It might be a small thing but as kurai pointed out it's always nice to have the LibreELEC feed in Kodi. If you are able to provide both Atom and RSS even better. Feel free to update this thread once the update has been deployed on the server so that we can enable our feeds again. Again appreciate you taking care of that "patch".

The changes are live, please test

Thank you CvH , great job! I can confirm that the LE feed is working again on my end in Kodi (LE 10.0.4). Again, big thanks for taking care of that and updating the feed.
