Public bug reported: Hello,
OS: Ubuntu 10.10 ver.:Screenlets 0.1.5, Slideshow Screenlet 1.3.3 The Slideshow Screenlet doesn't work properly for the RSS Feed (http://www.xkcd.com/rss.xml) of xkcd.com comics by Randall Munroe. In the Terminal I can see the following output: --------------- Trying RSS... http://www.xkcd.com/rss.xml Restored instances from session 'default' ... Opened and read. 4 items found. Still variety of 4 Traceback (most recent call last): File "SlideshowScreenlet.py~", line 504, in fetch_mediaRSS imageget = urlopen(realimage) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 126, in urlopen return _opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 383, in open protocol = req.get_type() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 244, in get_type raise ValueError, "unknown url type: %s" % self.__original ValueError: unknown url type: Trying Folder... --------------- The error occurs because of the XML Style of the RSS Feed on this Page. The Slideshow Screenlet is looking for the Image URL within a "<media:content:..." tag, whereas the XML File of xkcd.com delivers its Image URL within a <description> tag (after 'img src="..."'). I don't know, if there are more RSS Feeds with this style. So I just did a little Workaround and just change this for xkcd.com, so there is an if-else statement to look for 'img src="..."' for the Image URL instead of the normal tag, if the self.mediaRSS_URL is "http://www.xkcd.com/rss.xml";. It would be useful, if there are more RSS Feeds with this style, to take care of this. ** Affects: indiv-screenlets Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Individual Screenlets Developers, which is subscribed to Individual Screenlets. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/867404 Title: [Slideshow]: doesn't work for xkcd.com comics Status in Screenlets — individual widgets development: New Bug description: Hello, OS: Ubuntu 10.10 ver.:Screenlets 0.1.5, Slideshow Screenlet 1.3.3 The Slideshow Screenlet doesn't work properly for the RSS Feed (http://www.xkcd.com/rss.xml) of xkcd.com comics by Randall Munroe.
