CSDb RSS feed
I've noticed that RSS readers struggle with garbled text in prod titles containing exotic names. Could the maintainer change the encoding so the feed validates?

Problem: The most meaningful RSS feed imho is Upcoming Events. However, place names in Northern (also Eastern) Europe are often spelled with what you label "Viking" characters. I also faced some problems using QuiteRSS. Maybe our admins in Denmark (also Viking land) come up with a solution? |

Did you turn the wrong knob? Now the web services doesn't work 100% anymore. Some requests return nothing. |

Reverted a change back, let me know if the issue occurs again. |

Thanks. Appears to be no change, though.
On CShellDB (http://csdb.chordian.net) the boxes for new releases and for events are empty.
On DeepSID, some CSDb tab requests work, but not all of them. An example of one that doesn't work: https://deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/SID%20Happens/Probably.sid&.. |

RSS feeds:
CSDb - C64 Scene News
CSDb - Upcoming Events
CSDb - Latest Releases
seem to work like before though. I see no problems. |

The RSS is UTF-8 now and seems to work fine.
Could it be an issue with your serverside code ("php/latest_releases.php" etc.) not liking UTF-8 ? |

Perhaps. I'll check my code and see. |

I keep getting "The issuer certificate could not be found"
(i.e. SSL certificate)
Otherwise it works (if you ignore the error prompt) |

It was an easy fix and both CShellDB and DeepSID are both working again.
All I had to do was to remove all UTF-8 decoding functions. |

Hm, the certificate looks fine to me. Also according to https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
Perhaps an issue with your OS or quiteRSS missing updates. |

Same problem here with quiterss under win and linux.
I just skip it as the reader is just perfect for my needs. Anybody got an alternative with active development? :) |

Count, Yeah if you klick "Ignore", QuiteRSS seems to work finr with CSDb RSSes
Still, I would also know how other dudes enjoy their RSS...
Just saying, between 20?? and 2022 I only read the code, that also kept me posted, but was the opposite of joy...
so let me repeat Open to suggestions of alternatives [to QuiteRSS] for Win10...
PS: I'm afraid before this thread 99.9% of users (that's all except TS, Count and me) didn't now RSS is still a thing... *feels older than usual* (usual = explaining some "normal" peeps why C64 is still a the(!) thing) |

I use Inoreader for various blogs and it does the job, but I'm not sure I can recommend it as it often feels like a busy control panel.
I really miss when Google had an RSS reader. They should never have killed it. |

Thx Mager - Like to have a local program though. Cant remember why I didnt like Thunderbird back in the days. Will likely retry it soon. Quiterss apart from the SSL problem gives me a clean interface and I could even share the sqlite file on linux/windows. It might have other issues but is well configurable under both OSes. |

only not via the links given here
https://csdb.dk/rss/availablefeeds.php
leading to https://csdb.dk/rss/upcomingevents.php
but via
https://csdb.dk/upcomingevents.php
doesn not seem to work with the other feeds though |

The upcomingevents rss was strangely missing from the linked RSS feeds in all pages, fixed now.
And the PubDates for the events was set to the startdate of the event which caused the events not to show in probably all readers, as future pubdates are not supported in rss afaik.
Looks good in the firefox extension FeedBro now. |
