Title: RSS Mix alternative?
Post by: Atamido on March 02, 2010, 07:21:14 pm: I'd like to combine several RSS feeds for filtering and downloading. The Wiki (https://www.altbinz.net/wiki/Using_RSS_Feeds_and_Filters) suggests RSS Mix (http://www.rssmix.com/) but Alt.Binz won't add any items from the RSS Mix feed into the Download queue. It looks like the RSS feed does contain all of the proper links, but it isn't working with Alt.Binz.

Is there another RSS feed combiner that people use?

I then use that same feed to create a feed on RSS Mix to create a new feed using just that one, and it doesn't work. Same filters. I also can't get Ctrl-D (or right click and add to queue) to add anything to the Download queue. I was hoping not to have to do Yahoo pipes, but I guess that will be my first option.

to be clear:

using the rssmix-feed do the apropiate posts turn green in the rss tab?
does the log say something like xyz.nzb 0 files imported?

The log file says "imported - 0 files" for each post.

Post by: Atamido on March 03, 2010, 09:32:45 pm: Ah, the NZB file is completely wrong.

The top of the NZB from the direct feed:
Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE nzb PUBLIC "-//newzBin//DTD NZB 1.0//EN" "http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/nzb/nzb-1.0.dtd">  <nzb xmlns="http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/2003/nzb">The top of the NZB from the RSS Mix:
Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title> NZBIndex - We index, you search </title> So it looks like RSS mix is moving around the links and Alt.Binz is pulling the web page instead of the NZB file.

Post by: Hecks on March 03, 2010, 11:37:47 pm: Alt.Binz will look for the <link> element. Perhaps NZBIndex does this for anything coming from rssmix.com. I know from experience that this aggregator is a PITA. Can't test it atm as the site seems to be down. ;)

Hopefully there'll be more development of multiple feed support in an upcoming version of Alt.Binz (aggregation would be good).
