RSS Reader Errors

[bmora]

Jon,

The past week the RRS reader stopped working. Here is what is in the log file. I did'nt make any changes to that event and a validated the RSS feeds are still valid.

Could you give me the URL of the RSS feed so I can try it here?

I've just tried it here and there are no errors.

It may well be that the rogue character has now been replaced with updated RSS data. It's difficult to help if I cannot reproduce it here.

OK,
Would you suggest re-installing all the files and try again? Strange how it just stopped working and erroring out...

Copy MyRSS.vb to the Homeseer 2/scripts directory.
Copy RSSFeeds.aspx to the Homeseer 2/html directory.
Copy Jon00RSS.ini to the Homeseer 2/Config directory.


Thanks
Bryan

I'm not sure what version of the script you are running but would suggest you download the latest from my site. It makes life easier if we are using the same script!

I downloaded the latest .vb file and that looked like it worked!! Thanks Jon
