Great , but with 0.92 i was too fast. I have fixed a time issue with feeds without a publish time. See first post

You may yet have a bug to stomp in 93.

I am getting an error when loading MP midway thru the plugins load:

"The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is an unknown word starting at index 26."

MP finishes loading. When you okay the error message after MP loads, the "Downloading feeds and images..." is displayed and the error message is repeated... everything stops until you hit ok on the error message... then weather and RSS strings appear.

regards

Chuck

And the error pops up again when the plugin refreshes.

[catavolt]

Well, you release the versions much faster than a hen laying their eggs...

I even got it to work on MY skin

The RSS heading and the abstract are a free service to ATTRACT users TO the website to read the full article, so that the advertisers who pay the bills will get at least some viewing.

Instead of duplicating RSSnews-service features into info-service, isn't there a way of marrying the two together? Using Info-Service as the front-end to go to RSSnews to read the article?

I don't know why that every news/weather site I've visited do not offer emergency weather or civil defense RSS that give continuous details for a given area. Hardly any have relevant weather news.

Chuck

It's actually 2 basic things: ATTRACT & DIRECT. Via Rss you can go to that interesting article with one click.
What's the use of seeing the header & abstract, get attracted but if you wanna see the full article you need to start your browser, rssreader, mobilephone rssreader or whatever...

btw this is not a negative thought against InfoService, I like this plugin and have respect for the developers since I couldn't make such a thing I'm just very curious, is this just a gimmick (except for the weatherinfo) or do people actually go to the newswebpage after reading the RSS feeds via InfoService?

Sometimes the header is all you "need"....I link a beyondtv feed that shows me recently recorded shows...some may do an email check for new msg's....I know gmail supports that via rss....

Thanks edsche for the fix for my location!
