    What settings should I check?

    Thanks
    Sorry I have very limited Internet access for several days ... I suppose ebay changed some layout in its mobile web pages and script is not able any more to correctly parse the page ... I'll have a look at it when I'm back home in few weeks...

    Hi,
    as expected Ebay changed something in its page layout and Beecon was not able any more to parse the correct information.
    First post in thread has now been updated with a working Beecon.
    Ciao.

    Edit your command and change the Pango Markup Language tags; es:
    Code:
    <span foreground=\"cyan\">
    P.S. BE WARNED!!! The command/awk script of this Beecon is quite old and doesn't handle all possible conditions. It happens to me at time (seldom) that awk command gets stuck in a endless loop with high CPU % and quick battery drain. If you come up with a more reliable and robust script, please let us all know.

    Thanks!

    Further ... there is also an issue with the fold statement in the script.
    In fact it counts as characters also the Pango Markup Language tags in the command output and that is not correct. This could lead to incorrect item description line split.

    Solution here is to write a custom "fold" function in awk script which performs the line-split to the untagged output.

    This is very low in my TO-DO list ... if someone would like to contribute, I'll appreciate.
    Ciao.
