derii Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I've been using utorrent to read RSS feeds and usually it works great, but I can't get it to read this one:http://bt.ktxp.com/rss.php?page=1When I go to the "RSS Downloader" dialog box in utorrent and click on the "releases" tab, it doesn't show any releases from this RSS feed, even though I added it to the feed list. The feed isn't empty or anything either; I looked at it with Firefox and it's got a huge list of releases.The only unusual thing about the feed that I can see is that it contains lots of Chinese and Japanese characters, but that shouldn't be an issue. From what I can see, utorrent has amazing foriegn language compatibility.Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Don't know, but it doesn't appear to be a valid feed... or at least Opera's not picking it up as one.Edit: Firefox doesn't think it's valid either. So the general consensus is... it's invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derii Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Thanks guys. I'll go to the forum of the site where I got the feed and ask them what kind of weird software is needed to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Tell them to fix their feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derii Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Haha. I went to their website and the users there have no clue how to read the feed either. It looks like they made the feed recently and still haven't figured out how to do it right.I'll tell them to fix it but I don't think it will help much. They probably won't listen to me since it's a Chinese site and the only languages I can write in are English and Japanese... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Just tell them to convert the site and DB to UTF-8, and that'll fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derii Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Well, not only do they have everything in the wrong encoding, but they also used the wrong tags in the XML file. They use "record" instead of "item" and write "torrenturl=" instead of "enclosure url="They're all messed up. But yeah, switching the site to unicode would be a nice first step.
