RSS feed subscription start up failure

[Nikolai Stenfors]

Hello forum,
I have managed to get some RSS subcriptions to work by typing GR and paste the
URL. But some feeds do not work. For example, pasting
"https://productivity.stackexchange.com/feeds/question/8117", I get the message: "No feeds found for
https://productivity.stackexchange.com/feeds/question/8117".
I have also tried with "Gm" and "B nnrss" according to the manual 6.5.3
RSS without success.

Have I misunderstood something?

Hi Nikolai

This looks like an Atom feed -- you will need to transform it first.

Using 'xsltproc' as described in https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusRss#toc6
has worked well for me.


Kind regards

Thank you, your suggestion solved the problem.

That is an Atom feed.

I think nnrss only supports RSS feeds (there is a workaround converting
a downloaded Atom feed into RSS circulating, if memory serves).


Best regards,
