RSS Feeds Failed?

[laborspy]

I have never used the RSS option but I wanted to give it a try this evening.  After 45mins I am finally giving up and asking for help.  I know sabnzbd looks at things differently, but I can browse to the RSS fee and it will work fine but in the preview it displays nothing.  I have no filters setup, except for the catchall.  I have tried different RSS feeds from TVnzb, mytvnzb, and Yahoo Pipes.

OS: Windows 7 64
Firewall = no
sabnzbd: 0.4.12

Warnings I am getting:

Wrong syntax, you should read the Wiki page.
Use:

Code: Select all

http://mytvnzb.foechoer.be/feed/id/89115307798.rss

"feed://" is not proper syntax!
Yes, Firefox supports that nonsense, but it shouldn't.

The simplest crap I always miss.  I will try it tonight, thanks again!!!!

Ok that was the problem, the http:// instead of the feed://.  I changed it and it worked fine.  It seems like Safari was the issue, the link is written as http but when you click on the link Safari changes the url to read feed:// instead.  Honestly the stupidest thing I have seen.

Wrong syntax, you should read the Wiki page.

BTW, I was all over the Wiki and the forums before I posted.  No where on the Wiki does it state the feed:// will not work.  Any chance we can put an example of correct syntax and feed:// will not work?

Sorry, but should we list every syntax that does not work?
Also, the feed:// syntax is correct in some contexts, but it's a different protocol.
