1080p Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hi,I was wondering if there are any significant code differences between the Windows and OS X RSS features? I have a currently functioning feed on my Windows client but when I try to add the same feed to my OS X client it fails with the error:"Not a valid feed."My feed URL contains personally identifying information so I am unable to post it unedited for others to test but it is of the form:https://SITE.URL/feeds.php?feed=torrents_notify_NUMBERS_NUMBERS&user=NUMBERS&auth=NUMBERS&passkey=NUMBERS&authkey=NUMBERS&name=HDTVSite URL & identifying alphanumeric strings have been replaced.I don't see anything useful in the log, any ideas?Windows client: 2.2.1, Win7 x64OS X client: 1.8.3, OS X Lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1080p Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 No one else experiences this error? Weird, I've tried re-installing the application to no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadimt Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Could you please check your php script? Does it handle requests from Mac correctly?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1080p Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Could you please check your php script? Does it handle requests from Mac correctly?Thanks!You mean checking the PHP on the site? I doubt I can do that. If the RSS works for other Mac RSS clients will that count as correctly handling Mac requests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadimt Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Could you please provide the full url because we can't check it?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1080p Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Could you please provide the full url because we can't check it?Thanks!This is not possible as the URL contains personally identifiable information and I am not interested in sharing that. Feel free to test it yourself at any Gazelle based torrent tracker as they all share roughly the same RSS format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1080p Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 The problem is that everything works fine with other rss.Thanks!I've forwarded more information to mac@bittorrent.comLet me know if that is an incorrect address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1080p Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I've received no communication on this issue as yet. Any updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1080p Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 w00t! I remember thinking when I submitted this issue that the perfect type of support would be one that involves zero communication for a month despite multiple enquiries. Congratulations µTorrent team, you have surpassed my expectations!I get better support from open source projects with one or two developers...

justwes Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I've got a mini that stays connected to my TV that is my torrent machine as well as my HTPC that I view all the torrents on.In the past I've used Vuze with no issues but I wanted to switch to uTorrent as it's a native client vs the java base that Vuze has.The downside to this switch is that my private RSS feed from TVTorrents doesn't work in uTorrent. The RSS feed works in feed readers, Safari, Chrome, and Vuze (on OS X & Windows 7) but on uTorrent I receive an error stating the feed is invalid.Hopefully with a second person reporting the same issue with an RSS feed from a different site will help get a little more attention to this issue.

1080p Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Indeed, I have experienced the same thing with other clients working fine.So far we know that the RSS feeds from two completely different locations (completely different code bases, too):a) works in the µTorrent client for different operating systems. works with different clients for OS X.c) has multiple reports for not working within only µTorrent for OS X.Please, tell me again how this looks like it is an bug with anything but µTorrent.

chansearrington Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I'm having the exact same problem. Also with Torrents. URL works everywhere else but uTorrent for Mac. are you other guys using Comcast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerzdosen Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I just wanted to point out that I too have this problem (µTorrent 1.8.1 (28758) - the most recent version allowed by my Gazelle-based tracker) but was able to get around it.I just added the feed(s) via the web gui and everything now is working fine. (I'd prefer a more granular control with regards to how frequently the feeds are checked, but that's beyond the scope of this thread.)It seems as though the web gui does not do the same checks that the primary gui does, and thus "just works."
