GeckoBrowser not working from within InfoService

When I select one of the RSS links to open them in GeckoBrowser, it does not work consistently. The predefined entry for GeckoBrowser has the Window ID set to 16004, but GeckoBrowser when installed runs under 16002 on my system, and I did not change that.

If I set the Webbrowser to GeckoBrowser, nothing happens.

If I set it to Web Browser, then GeckoBrowser launches, but it does not open the RSS feed page.

I created a custom Webbrowser entry that used 16002 as the Window ID, and the properties from the GeckoBrowser entry. With these settings the browser starts, but it does not always open the URL. When it does not open the URL, I open any page manually, exit the browser, and try the link in InfoService again. This time it works, but then after viewing a couple links from InfoService, it stops working and I have to do the manual thing again.

I do not see anything different in the InfoService log between when it does and does not work, but in the GeckoBrowser log I do see a difference. When it works there are 2 back-to-back entries trying to open the page. When it does not work, there is only one. (see log below)

Re: *NEW* InfoService v1.6 - Feed reader/Twitter reader and weather [06-06-2010]

This site doesn't appear in feeds:
MangaON

Does the problem come from images content in the rss ? if so, is there a way for this site to wok in InfoService ? (at least taking the news titles)

Hi,
I'm having the same problem that RSS feed doesn't show up in Gecko browser. What ever I configure also in advanced menu it doesn't solve the problem. I know I should add the log files but I'm currently in the office but I'll attach it late in the evening. But the log files says something like: "couldn't find content probably it doesn't exist. But when I'm opening Gecko directly than the last clicked RSS feed shows up. Any idea or help would be highly appreciated.
Regards, ojessie

Added log:

20/08/2010 22:44:40 | Feed | Error | Error parsing RSS feed
						Le chemin d'accès spécifié, le nom de fichier ou les deux sont trop longs. Le nom de fichier qualifié complet doit comprendre moins de*260*caractères et le nom du répertoire moins de 248*caractères.
						   à System.IO.Path.SafeSetStackPointerValue(Char* buffer, Int32 index, Char value)
   à System.IO.Path.NormalizePathFast(String path, Boolean fullCheck)
   à System.IO.Path.NormalizePath(String path, Boolean fullCheck)
   à System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(String path)
   à FeedReader.Utils.DownloadImages(Feed feed, String cacheFolder)
   à FeedReader.Xml.FeedRssXmlParser.TryParse(XDocument xmlFeed, Feed& feed, Boolean downloadImages)

It seems to be a bug when the rss feed title has more than 260 chars, cause you probably want to write a cache directory based on the web rss title instead of the title I defined for the feed.

Edit: exactly the same problem with AnimeSpace which has a long title too: same error in log file. The long-title bug seems confirmed

Edit2: I've finally made a quick fix directly in the source code, changing your "Feed.Title" method:
-Commented:

//        public string Title { get; set; }

-Replaced by:

        public string Title
        {
            get
            {
                return _title;
            }
            set
            {
                _title = value;
                if (_title.Length > 30)
                {
                    _title = _title.Substring(0, 30);
                }
                _title = ("" + _title).Replace(",", "_").Replace(" ", "_").Replace(".", "_").Replace(":", "_").Replace("\\", "_").Replace("/", "_").Replace("*", "_").Replace("\"", "_").Replace("<", "_").Replace(">", "_").Replace("|", "_");
            }
        }

Here is the fixed Feed.cs source code:

Here is the compiled dll if someone need the fix for feeds with long titles or non valid chars in titles:

Nice plugin but i couldn't get it to open a web page with GeckoBrowser at all just got a blank screen, however it works fine with Webbrowser + (microsoft.mshtml.dll) in Programmes/~/MediaPortal directory + (Interop.SHDocVw.dll) in plugin/Windows folder along with the Webbrowser.dll, as long as you remove all the GeckoBrowser files.

Hi,

Thanks for the excellent plugin. Would it be possible for you to add "My Recordings" playback to the list of Twitter events please? That way, when a recording is played, a twitter update is sent.
If you wanted, maybe add other events like My TV or My Music?
I can appreciate some people may raise "privacy concerns" about this but they are 'options' and if you turn them on, you expect that "the masses" can read them.

Cheers,
