No, in the same feed. Example from the NY Times attached. In this list there are only a few repeats, but I have seen six identical headlines one after the other.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
Is there a way to display all the feeds in the widget. I.e. I have 2 feeds, can I see all unread articles at once from both feeds?

Also is there a way to remove the controls from the widget? i.e. just a square containing my feeds?

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
@geneven: In the duplicate posts, is the date inside different? Seems like they update their posts by keeping the same title but changing the publication date.

@vi: the widget doesn't allow that

No news is good news, right? Well, in a way... Haven't had much time to spend on programming for quite a while, so not much to update. Although it was working OK, the way that the alpha-stage QML interface was interfacing with the existing backend was sub-optimal, so a better route is probably to re-do the backend as well. Part of that was done in Lukija (right now, just a Read-It-Later client), to which I might add the RSS capabilities of FeedingIt (if any artsy people feel like doing some artwork, like icons or interface mock-ups, let me know).

The good news is that I'm starting to have a bit more free time. I've got a small game that I started to hone my QML skills that I'm about to release, and then work to port FeedingIt/Lukija to the N950 will start (which would trickle down to the N900 version).

Well, if the goal of my projects was to make it available to as many people as possible, the N900 probably wouldn't be my main target, would it? :-).

There weren't many duplicates today, but the ones I found had different times but the same date, so essentially you are right.

If I could have my wish, in such cases I would rather see just the latest story, rather than successive identical stories with some details added.

Thanks for confirming. Unfortunately, other feeds use the same titles for posting separate articles (just changing the date), so we can't have it both ways... If I change the behaviour, then we'd have missing articles in those other feeds, which is, imo, a worse issue than having duplicated ones.

Hi. It's not something that FeedingIt controls, you need an app that sets the defaults browser to Opera. I believe there is something called browser switchboard, or close to that.

Its almost perfect now. I'd like to see dedicated "next" button, and sharing links to post articles to FB, G+, and others.

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
Hi, I'm inloved with this RSS reader but for the last days, my Feedingit widget doesn't work. Uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't solve the problem. Now I have a squared black box with no buttoms, instead of the list of RSS threads. That's what I see when I go to desktop edit mode. Casually, the application runs correctly, but not the widget. I also remember now that I deleted a file called "feedsearch" (or similar) because it took a size of 1 Gb and stuck my rootfs. Don't know if it has something to do.

I think it happens after installing new CSSU update (but not sure). Is any of you suffering this problem?

petur 2011-09-22 14:00

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
I'm also on the latest CSSU, the widget works fine here

Zentenario 2011-09-22 14:03

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
Thanks, petur. So then, it has nothing to do with CSSU update (as I supposed). Really, cannot understand this behaviour. It was working perfectly up to some days ago ...

Any help is welcome!

Zentenario,
Can you see if there is any errors at the bottom of the file:
/home/user/feedingit_widget.log

Also, can you try to run the following command from the
X-Terminal:
python /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/feedingit_widget.py
and copy/paste any errors that you might see.

Zentenario 2011-09-23 05:55

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
Hi Slocan, many many thanks for your help.

This is the content of 'feedingit_widget.log' in '/home/user/':

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/feedingit_widget.py", line 140, in __init__
    pixbuf = icon_theme.load_icon("feedingit", 20, gtk.ICON_LOOKUP_USE_BUILTIN )

    if find(table[0], "widget")==-1:

    self.setup_autoupdate()
  File "/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/feedingit_widget.py", line 559, in setup_autoupdate
    file.close()

  File "/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/feedingit_widget.py", line 120, in __init__
    self.autoupdateId = int(file.read())
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

These last 5 lines repeat for hundreds of timed.

On the other hand, I cannot get any response in Xterminal executing 'python /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/feedingit_widget.py'. It seems to get stuck. I did it with root access, is it OK?

Slocan 2011-09-23 14:20

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
@Zentenario: "No space left on device", it looks like your /home partition or the rootfs partition is full. You'll need to clean up a few things to make some space. After that, your widget should recover (if not, you might need to reomve the .ini files in the /home/user/.feedingit directory).

Are you trying to run it as root? Make sure you use the "user" account.

Don't run it as root (don't go into sudo gainroot).

I can't get FeedingIt to auto-update. It is set to update every two hours, but it isn't doing that. What to do?

Do you have any instance of feedingit running, like the widget or the backgrounded main application?

Yes, I have the widget running. And it is set to autoupdate every two hours.

I also have fcron installed and the following in the config file:

00 07 * * 1-7 /usr/bin/FeedingIt update

but when I wake up at 07.30 there has been no update. (There are other lines in the config that execute properly.)

However when I try running '/usr/bin/FeedingIt update' from the x-term I get the following output:

method return sender=:1.139 -> dest=:1.137 reply_serial=2 string "Done"

and the feeds appear to have updated.

Any ideas?

Slocan 2011-10-10 01:48

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
Does fcron try to run the command as root? You need to make sure it uses the default "user" to run it.
As for why the widget does not work, check the feeding_widget.log in your home directory for errors.

noetus 2011-10-10 06:37

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
I'm not sure how to ensure the FeedingIt update runsa as user if fcron starts it.

As for the log, I checked it and here are the contents. I don't see anything here relevant to update issues.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/feedingit_widget.py", line 140, in __init__
pixbuf = icon_theme.load_icon("feedingit", 20, gtk.ICON_LOOKUP_USE_BUILTIN )

According to http://wiki.maemo.org/Fcron , you need to use "run-standalone.sh" in front of the script to set up the correct environment for dbus calls.

But not sure why the widget doesn't work for you.

noetus 2011-10-13 06:56

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
Aha! I have solved one of the problems. I wasn't aware that there are two separate auto update schedules that are set independently, one in the main program, and one in the widget. I had only set the one in the main program. I wonder if linking these somehow, even with a message to the user, might be helpful? It wasn't obvious to me, at any rate.

I will see if using the extra call in the script will solve the other problem, as well.

Slocan 2011-11-14 04:40

Re: FeedingIt - RSS Reader
 
Just uploaded 0.9.1-1 to Extras-Devel. This version adds:
- Categories (note, to add feeds into a category, select it in the Manage Feeds area, and click on the "i" icon)
- Woodchuck support (A Network Transmission Manager, see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=79707 for more info)
- Quite a few bug fixes and background improvements

Thanks to Neal who did a big part of this update.

Hey Slocan any thoughts about building feedingit for the N9? This is a wonderful RSS reader on the N900.

Yeah, that is a gratuitous dependency. (I've built it locally without that dependency.)

If you look at the git repository, you'll see that he is working on it :)
