ive been searching high and low for a solution, but cant seem to find one. at home i have edited my rss feed to show my local news, but at my girlfriend's place on her installation, no matter what i change the line in the rss xml file, it still displays the default xbmc feed in the home screen.
i am probably missing something glaringly obvious, but its just getting maddening, so i thought i'd ask here
any help is much appreciated, thanks
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://rss.cbc.ca/lineup/topstories.xml</feed>
</set>
</rssfeeds>
edit: using build 23739 with aeon skin
It's possible you're changing the right file in the wrong directory. Try the RSS Ticker editor available from SVN Repo Installer.

I tried this, however, after i change/add the rss feeds i want, I can't click Ok. When I click Ok, nothing happens, I can only cancel.
Any ideas?
Any idea about the RSS feeds? Tried to change them but it didn't work. I then tried editing the .xml file in /userdata/ but it still had the default XBMC rss feed. I then tried to edit them again using RSS editor plugin and now whenever I pull up the RSS Editor, I cn see nothing on the left side of the editor window and the add/remove/ok/cancel buttons do not work. I have to Alt+F4 XBMC and restart it. Log attached. See bottom of log.

Get the lastest version of the script and try again please.
It's been fixed for a while but I forgot to bump the version numbers so you may not have seen the update if you're using svn repo installer.

I tried an uninstall/reinstall last night via repo installer. Do you have a link to download it separately? I can't seem to find it.
Also, I edited the .xml to change the rss feed URL in /userdata/. Should I change that back to default? And does XBMC rss feeds accept feeds ending in .rss or only .xml? e.g.
http://rss.soccernet.com/c/668/f/8493/index.rss

Still having the same issue.
Opening the RSS Editor gives me the Add/Remove/OK/Cancel buttons but can see no feeds on left side. Can post another debug log and a copy of userdata/rssfeeds.xml if necessary
It's just as easy to do it manually. In Vista and Windows 7 you need to change the RssFeeds.xml in C:\Users\Randy\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata. First you need to enable hidden folders.
I'm not sure what to change in XP (I don't have any computers with XP)

Go ahead and post a debug log, everything is working fine here. Thanks.
Any suggestions what to do here?
I tried deleting and reinstalling RSS editor via the scripts/plugins menu in xbmc to no avail. Should I reinstall XBMC or is there a way to manual reinstall RSS.

I even tried deleting the RssFeeds.xml in both appdata and xbmc install directory to no avail.
Do you have a download link for the rss editor or only available via svn repo installer? Did you also take a look at my error log, does that suggest any fixes?
Thanks rw
