Hi
I wonder why teletext don´t work after installing Kodi 17.1?
It is activated and I have downloaded the RSS news app (I think the name is RSS editor) for the XBMC news feed. The teletext showing on bottom of screen.
Is there anything I have forgotten maybe?

Kodi 17.1
Windows 10 pro 64-bit Ver. 1703 build 15063.250
Intel Core i7-6700 CPU 4.0 GHz
Ram 16

I hope it is correct posting the pastebin link like this?

Forgot to mention that the skin is Confluence

Hi again. I am sorry I think I have got this wrong.
What I mean is that I would like to activate the text line with Kodi news in the bottom of the screen. Th etest line that is floating from the right side to the left on screen, when not watching a movie.

Can it be that I need an app for this? Is it about rss feed?

Sorry for my low-level knowledge about this things.

I guess we call it RSS ticker (wiki) and I think this RSS media source (wiki) might need some updating. Here's an Add-on:RSS Editor (wiki) In essence you have to have a file called RssFeeds.xml in your Userdata (wiki) folder. Should have something like the following inside that file called RssFeeds.xml or did I miss the target?

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<rssfeeds>
  <!-- RSS feeds. To have multiple feeds, just add a feed to the set. You can also have multiple sets.     !-->
  <!-- To use different sets in your skin, each must be called from skin with a unique id.                 !-->
  <set id="1">
    <feed updateinterval="30">http://feeds.kodi.tv/xbmc</feed>
    <feed updateinterval="30">http://feeds.kodi.tv/latest_xbmc_addons</feed>
    <feed updateinterval="30">http://feeds.kodi.tv/updated_xbmc_addons</feed>
  </set>
</rssfeeds>

You need to go to settings>interface settings>other>Show Rss News Feeds- turn on.

Dear PatK
Thank you very much for your post! I am coming closer I think. I installed the RSS editor and also pasted your code in the RSS.feeds.xml file. It was a little bit different than the previous one. I had not:

<feed updateinterval="30">http://feeds.kodi.tv/latest_xbmc_addons</feed>
<feed updateinterval="30">http://feeds.kodi.tv/updated_xbmc_addons</feed>

The other was all same same. I am not sure if that is important or not?

Anyway, for now the RSS ticker works BUT there is only one letter "K" moving from left to the right on the screen.
Do you have any idea whats wrong about that?

I have also deactivated Teletext (scale teletext to 4:3) in the Player - Video settings. It seams to work both ways so I deactivated it.

This is very strange... seeing only 1 letter..... The letter "K"

Something must be working, in some cases it's a matter of your bandwidth and the connection. You've noted that the feed URL is quite different from earlier versions, and yes it does make a difference. I should note that RSS scrolling is pretty intensive, outside of the limited information presented. Let's have a proper debug log posted to a public paste-bin and that URL linked back to this thread, perhaps we'll have a better idea of what is transpiring.

Hi again PatK
Now it is working! I did not do anything at all after my previous post. I just watched a DVD and then when turned the DVD of the RSS scrolling was working :-)
Maybe there was some problem at the "other end"?

I did not know that the RSS scrolling is pretty intensive. Maybe it is best to not have it active?
I will try some time and see if it has an influence of the more important things in Kodi.

Thanks again!
