This script does. I've been using it for a while now.

Anyone have a successfully running TCL script that supports both http and https rss feeds? I can get the http feeds running with this script, but totally striking out with https feeds.

Yes, i can confirm the script doesnt work for me. Something is wrong with the script. I am also getting 403 forbidden.
Someone has to create a script that uses wget instead of http & tls packages. wget can get the data at least from https, then it's needed to parse the file.

i installed the script, but i get RSS Warning: couldn't open "file.db". no such file or directory.

if i make a file.db i get
RSS Error: Invalid feed database file format file.db

any ideas how to solve it?

create the file empty (touch /home/eggdrop/your/file.db).
If it already exists, delete it before.

Has anyone managed to get this working with the Reddit news feed ?

Using this

http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/.rss

But it's giving me this out.

[Reddit News :] - Url : Posted :

Config is :

Code: Select all

set rss(reddit) {
      "url"         "http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/.rss"
      "channels"      "#tester"
      "database"      "scripts/feeds/reddit.db"
      "output"      "[\002Reddit News :\002] \002@@item!title@@\002 - \002Url : \00314@@item!guid@@ \00308\002Posted\002 : @@item!pubDate@@@@entry!pubDate@@"
      "trigger"      "!rn"

Any ideas ?

Here is a workaround for this script...and it's free

Go to https://siftrss.com

Enter your rss feed url, in this case I used https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/.rss

For the dropdown options, I selected "I want to include items where the title exists

Then hit FEED ME!

If it worked, you will get a success and a siftrss url. Use the new url https://siftrss.com/f/Zb0ZraKAry in this script.

I tried to change (for example)

Code: Select all

"database"      "scripts/feeds/reddit.db"

to

Code: Select all

"database"      "/home/myuser/eggdrop/scripts/feeds/reddit.db"

that is the full path ... and it works

Hello people, I have this problem, any cure for it?

This headline -> ‘Pep Guardiola Is The Next Arsene Wenger’
My bot shows -> вPep Guardiola Is The Next Arsene Wengerв

Another example -> Ødegaard signs but this media victory over Arsenal costing the club dear

My bot shows -> Гdegaard signs but this media victory over Arsenal costing the club dear

I was thinking maybe this needs to be added to the script but I don't know how: https://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html ... ecial.html

Especially those 3:

left single quotation mark ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
right single quotation mark ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’
single low-9 quotation mark ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚

Thank you!
