So, is this thread serving as a bug report and support channel then? I'm assuming so, but if there's somewhere better to be asking about this, please point the way.
So I've tried Yarss2 under both the Windows and Linux Deluge client, and have the same problem on each. I can get ezrss.it to work properly (well, as good as it ever works considering it's unreachable 90% of the time). When I add a subscription using the ezrss.it feed (
http://www.ezrss.it/feed/) the matching tab populates properly with the feed contents. However, when I try to use the RSS feed from my most used private tracker, Torrentday, Yarss2 seems to be unable to read the feed. The matching tab never populates with anything when i try to add a subscription, and nothing ever downloads from that feed. Strangely, I don't get any error(s) either - like when retrieving ezrss and it's unavailable, I see the 503 error in the matching tab. When Torrentday's feed fails, it says nothing. The big difference I can think of is that Torrentday is a private tracker and uses a passkey to authorize downloads. The full link to the Torrentday feed is "
http://www.torrentday.com/torrents/rss? ... p=<removed>" (tp is the passkey value - i've removed it for obvious reasons. I can reveal this for troubleshooting purposes if needed - but it would be on a one-on-one basis - i'm not posting it in a public forum). I have also tried running this feed through Yahoo pipes, just to see if it was an encoding or some other minor compatibility issue with Torrentday's feed, but even the output from Yahoo pipes doesn't seem to be readable for this feed. The main reason I'm thinking the problem is passkey related rather than formatting related is the fact that the only other feed that I've been able to get working in Yarss2 is The Pirate Bay's feed, which is public and has no passkey value in the link. It also uses the same format for the link as ezrss (
http://site/dir) rather than using a PHP link with options. The only other private tracker that I use that has RSS also uses a passkey and a PHP link, and it also doesn't work in Yarss2 - even after reformatting with Yahoo pipes. It behaves the same as Torrentday's feed in that it does not fetch any data from the feed, but also gives no error(s).
Has anyone managed to get any RSS feeds from any private trackers to work in Yarss2? In either the Linux or Windows versions? Does anyone have any ideas why these feeds shouldn't be working in Yarss2? Any help would be much appreciated.
