Hey,
tried the script on XBMC 13.2 and KODI 14.1.
Both can't run the addon but produce an error.

What happens? According to the log-file there seems to be a missing import:

15:26:01 T:10708  NOTICE: -->Python Interpreter Initialized<--
15:26:01 T:10708   ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--

Any hint for me?

Hi,

I've installed Feedreader Screensaver and added the feeds by editing the settings.xml file, but when I use the add-on as a screensaver, it stays stuck on "Fetching Feeds". I left it over night and in the morning it still hasn't fetched anything.

Think you could help?

Thank you,

Radu

I use TV remote control through HDMI CEC.
TV remote control stops working after 18 seconds when screensaver starts. This does not happen with other screensavers.
After clicking a button on keyboard, the tv remote starts working again.

I find it today and loving it. But I have a question, what it do with all the rss data and pics? Do it store them or delete right after showing them.

Please can you kindly create a Matrix version of this?

It's 1 of the best add-ons I've ever used. So handy as a screensaver

It would be good to have an option to reuse (either as the immediate source of feeds, or as a copy) the contents of the RssFeeds.xml that Kodi has.

Was trying to show the feed which is at GMT +8 time zone,
for example adding this GMT+8 RSS feed : http://rthk9.rthk.hk/rthk/news/rss/e_expressnews_elocal.xml
but when showing the screensaver, the time is still GMT +0

i did try to modify the py file, import pytz and try to change the timezone like below

item.published_parsed = (datetime.datetime.now(pytz.timezone('Asia/Hong_Kong'))- datetime.timedelta()).timetuple()

but seem it doesnt help, may i know how to do this ? Thank you so much, and it is a great RSS reader for KODI !

Hi, not an issue (it's near perfect for what I want as it is!) but would it be possible to have an optional toggle to refresh the feeds either after a certain time or maybe when it's cycled through all the articles in the feed once?

Thanks

Paul

The content pane starts scrolling after 3 seconds. When some headline catches my eye (it's a screensaver after all, I'm not watching it continuously) already the first few lines have scrolled out.

Please increase the delay to around 15s

I noticed that the code only has 720p resolution dimensions and scaling could other 1080p and 4k be added?

Hi,
Love this screensaver.
But just upgraded my osmc to 18.2-RC1 from whatever it was previously.
And now the screensaver comes on, but the background doesn't blank or go dim at all so the text of the feed is intermixed with the background.
Any idea's on what could be causing this?
thx
Shaun

I have a problem where it is only fetching 2/3 feeds

When using a search term in the feed field, the search result report that the Google News URL used is obsolete and should be changed. Perhaps these should be changed to something else like duckduckgo?
