Current Nightlies (LE12) - RSS Ticker non functional

    A long standing issue with Nightly LE12 Generic builds, for at least 3 or 4 months, that I'm finally getting around to looking at.

    No changes in the RSS Editor plugin (script.rss.editor - version=4.0.2) or in the /userdata/RssFeeds.xml list that it created.

    Parsing the logs I can see that the URL is fetched, but nothing appears on-screen and after a while the session is closed without any further log entries.

    debug <general>: Got rss feed: https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml
    debug <general>: CurlFile::Open - <https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/uk/rss.xml>
    debug <general>: Got rss feed: https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/uk/rss.xml
    ...

    debug <general>: CheckIdle - Closing session to https://feeds.bbci.co.uk (easy=0x7fc38c01f990, multi=0x7fc38c01eb00)

    I've tried it in default skin as well as my normal !Transparency with same result, and all the feeds used are alive and working in a browser session.

    It's beest to report that kind of problem to the add-on author in the Kodi forums. It's not something we're responsible for (and thus not our area of expertise).

    Oops - looks like I raised a half-assed bug report. Sorry :blush:

    The issue seems to be with Kodi core, rather than LibreELEC - I lost track of when I switched from LE 11.0 to 12.0 Nightlies.

    I had a vague mental note to investigate why the feature wasn't working, but made the assumption it stopped *after* the switch to 12.0. In fact the RSS Ticker isn't working in any of the vanilla Kodi 12 alphas/betas.
