Rss reader application

I am using google reader and I am almost happy with it, but I would like to find a separate rss reader because of two things:
1) Filtering. I am subscribed to rss from a newspaper.some.domain, and I am getting ALL articles through rss feed. Now it contains a lots of stupid boxing match/football game stuff and I would like to exclude all articles that link to newspaper.some.domain/sport/ page, leaving all the other news.
2) Image previews. Google reader shows image previews for feeds from flickr/photosight/etc. But from any photo hosting site I see 2 image previews one above another on iBook, and ~3.5 on iMac. I want them to be in columns, I guess one could fit ~6 previews on iBook in 3 columns and quite a dozen on iMac.
Anyone?

Do you mean it is an open source and I could change it to suit my needs?..
It does exactly opposite to what I want - it copies google reader - no filtering by criteria (like NOT, OR, target url includes, etc.), no compact preview mode - look at the screenshot - all this white space I want to be filled!
Really would like some advanced filtering and columns/mosaic mode for image preview. Anything actually, but specifically thought for image previewing from rss. It would be nice to have both in one app, like to filter out 'still lifes', but even two separate apps would do - one with filtering for news and another for images...

How to hide html tags in RSS reader

Hello everyone!
I need a help. I`m not a programmer, but I make a very simple RSS reader based on this tutorial http://mobile.dzone.com/articles/building-mobile-rss-reader ... Application works perfect, but I have a problem into DetailsView (rss feed item)... In this view application show me a all html tags into rss feed (or articles on my website)... Content into Description (in application) begins with <p> margin-left: 4px,.... and other html tags. Please, tell me how I set to hide this tags and show only a article content (text)..I
I will be really greatful for any help!
Best regards,

Unfortunately no, there is not. It's absolutely needed so that site studio knows how to load the pages. One thing you can do is to use SSPU (site studio publishing utility) to generate static pages and then use a scripting language, such as perl, to strip out all the site studio-specific code from those pages.
Sorry, but that's one big downside to using site studio.

RSS Reader Extender

Hello to all,
ive tested the sample rss reader.
Now if I want to read the text in this tag:
<content:encoded></content:encoded>?
How I can do that?
my code at the moment is valid only for description:
this.body.htmlText = rssFeed.lastResult.rss.channel.item
.description;
Thanks so much

alt="" />Avete mai pensato di realizzare una wishlist per
Natale? Lo so, da una parte sembra infantile quanto una letterina a
Babbo Natale, dall'altra sembra arido quanto una lista nozze. Io,
invece, mi diverto tantissimo a leggere le wishlist degli altri.
Sarò figlio del consumismo, ma credo che si possa imparare
molto da una persona in base agli oggetti che desidera.</p>
<p>Ora, se decidete di realizzare una wishlist dovrete
pensare a quale sistema sfruttare. Anche se vi ho già detto
che apprezzo <a href="
http://www.kaboodle.com">Kaboodle</a>,
web 2.0 allo stato puro, credo che si stia imponendo come standard
al semplicità di <a href="
http://gifttagging.com/">GiftTagging</a>,
che tra l'altro si integra bene con <a href="
http://myspace.com/">MySpace</a>.
Il meccanismo ricorda del.icio.us, con la possibilità di
aggiungere tag ai regali, descrizione e l'opportunità di
ottenere un feed delle wishlist dei vostri amici. E se usate Mac,
allora fa per voi: GiftTagging si integra benissimo sia con Safari
che con Firefox (1 o 2 che sia) e, ciliegina sulla torta, ha anche
una bella <a href="
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/shopping/gifttaggingwidget.html">widget
per Tiger</a>. Basta installarla nella Dashboard ed inserirvi
gli indirizzi email degli amici: se hanno creato una lista con
GiftTagging l'avrete sempre sott'occhio nel vostro cruscotto. E se
non l'hanno creata, consigliateglielo caldamente, magari mostrando
loro la vostra... </p>

Photo RSS reader for PC's / AOL?

Can anyone suggest an RSS reader that will read photos from a photocast? My father uses AOL, but could work through IE if necessary.
Thanks,
Billl

Chris:
Have her try Firefox. See my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4531492#4531492
You have to change the url a little according to the site I'm quoting.
Or do what any good son should do, buy here a new Mac
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Iframe in Rss Reader App

I started an Rss Reader App through App Studio and now I am developing it through Visual Studio. The problem is that the rss parser is stripping the iframe tags. I tested the rss on an other parser and everything is showing just fine. Do anyone know how
I can exclude iframes from getting stripped by the app parser? Thank you very much
*EDIT*
I found out that the file HTML2Xaml.cs is might be responsible for allowing iframes but I don't know how to edit it in order to allow the iframes

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

HT5275 Why did this update eliminate Safari's RSS reader function? Grrrrr.

So, I have a number of RSS sources in a folder titled "News" in my bookmarks bar. I select it and am able to either go to individual RSS source or "View All RSS Sources" (which I use all the time) or open all in tabs (this one's not a good idea!). After updating, the "View All RSS Sources" is gone as Safari no longer has an RSS reader function. Too bad (and I really mean that!) and seemingly unaccounted for if I call APple for assistance... just "No Safari RSS reader in the update. Oh, and there's no way to go back!"
I use "View All RSS Sources" twice daily (at least) because it is adjustable... my list is sorted by Unread, and it highlights those. Very convenient! An excellent function... no in the dumpster! Grrrrrrrr!
Anyway, now I cannot do this function on my MBP w/Mtn Lion (update to Safari included in the update to Lion) or on my Mac Pro w/Lion (I updated Safari automatically, then found the "improvement"). So now my mini is not going to be updated until I am able to find an outside app that'll give me this function back. And no more buying upgraded minis, either. Grrrr.
Anyway, anybody know why the function was removed in the update?
ADDED POST POSTING: it appears I've lost spellcheck while using an outdated version of Safari

Hi,
Another thing you can try is this:
- Quit Safari
- Open up a Terminal window (via Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app)
- Type <pre>dscacheutil -flushcache</pre> and then press the Return key
- Restart Safari
What that does is flush the local DNS cache on your machine. DNS is how computers convert human-readable names (i.e. www.apple.com) into IP addresses (17.112.152.32) that computer networks use to resolve machine locations.
No guarantees this will work, but it's worth a shot.

Tutorial to create a basic rss reader for my site?

Can anyone point me to either a text or video tutorial, new to the whole iphone sdk business, trying to offer our readers an iphone rss application so they can get all of our stories right on one interface. Any direction would really help.
Thank you

Hmm. My apologies. Not sure as to what you have all tried, but I am guessing you have done a bit of research, which is good.
I am not positive that there are really any excellent tutorials out there as of yet. Have you had a look at this one?

RSS Feeding applications - needed with Safari???

Hi.
I am now getting courageous and want to start playing around with RSS. With ie it has always been impossible until recently itappears there are some RSS reader/feeders that need to be downloaded and installed (on PC). I have not found any feature on the Mac that readily works like a Feeder allowing you to choose through a drop down what RSS you want to see and bang, it is on your desktop. Is RSS feeder/reader built in or a separate application? I could not find anything on Apple site.
Thanks for pointing the flashlight.

In Safari Tiger, RSS is built-in. It is established via the Safari Preferences>RSS.
To make the feeds easily accessible, go to your Bookmarks Manager (clicking on the book icon to the far left on the Bookmarks Bar). There, on the left under "collections" you'll see various folders. One ought to say "bookmarks bar". Click on it. Then on the right, you can establish a folder (call it RSS or whatever is significant to you) by clicking on the + sign at the bottom of the panel, dragging the new folder so it is positioned above any existing folders.
Click on the Bookmarks Icon to return to the normal browser window. There, you can drag/drop your RSS feeds directly into the RSS folder you just created. If you want to sort the Feeds, or even create sub-folders, e.g by category, just go back to the Bookmarks Manager and further define the organization in the folder.
Post back if you need any further clarification.

is any one aware of a good RSS Reader that works fine on the NOkia E71. I used to have a windows mobile device and it had this great application called "VIIGO". Unfortunetaly, this application is only available on WM and Blackberry.
Thank You

Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version. Error message reads "Application Application Support not found". "Unistall and reload". I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success. Help??

Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version. Error message reads "Application Application Support not found". "Uninstall and reload". I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success. Help??

I had gotten a similar problem, except with "provider services", i believe, but i solved it by copying sqlite3.dll from E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support. doing that solved my first problem, but now i have been getting the error described in this topic (unable to load dataclass info... etc.). i tried reinstalling itunes (i already had 9.1.1, and thats what i reinstalled) by using the method described on apples site (using the "remove programs" tool in the control panel) and then downloading and installing itunes. when i opened it again, i still got the same error, and just now i got an error saying "the instruction at "0x00aadb6b" referenced memory at "0x00000008". the memory could not be read" it gave me the option to cancel and debug, or to press ok and terminate the program. I tried pressing cancel, and the popup went away but nothing else happened. a minute later the popup was back, so i pressed ok and itunes quit. Upon opening Itunes again, i got the very same error. sorry for the long post, but its really been bugging me. thanks for any help you might give, and if you need anymore info, feel free to contact me.

Safari 5.1.2: Where is the built-in RSS Reader theme stored?

Hi all,
Safari's built-in RSS reader menus are displayed in wrong language on my system - does anybody know in which library Apple's blue RSS reader theme and/or it's ressources are stored, so I could check for missing language files? All hints I could find on the web are describing pre-5.1 versions of Safari, and after investigating my current libraries I'm sure the ressources changed, e.g. the SyndicationUI.framework under /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks.
Does anybody have any hints for me?

OK, here's what I'm talking about. This is a screen capture of a tab from the Macintosh version of Safari:
Notice how the "X" to close the tab is on the left-hand side and the text of the tab is centered on the width of the tab.
Here is a screenshot of the Windows version of Safari:
You can see how the tab is much smaller for one, but also how the text is justified to the left with the "X" to close the tab appearing on the right side of the tab instead of the left.
I don't really prefer one over the other (ie. left or right side), I just wondered if there's some setting to make them act the same way on both so that I don't have to constantly remember what OS I'm on in order to remember where the darn "X" is to close the tab.

Why was deleted the RSS reader in Mail on OS X Mountain Lion?

Why was deleted the RSS reader in Mail on OS X Mountain Lion?
How can I re-enable the RSS reader?

All RSS Readers that I tested from MacAppStore are much worst than Mail's in Lion.
Hate them all. I'm using blogtrottr.com to compile all RSS and send me via email. But it's flooding my mailbox. There're a bunch of them that require a Google Reader account, and I won't do that. It doesn't matter to Google which RSS I'm following.
I wish Apple put RSS reading back to Mail. Stupid idea taking it off.

E71 font size in RSS reader

Dear E71 Gurus,
has anybody been able to change the font size in the RSS reader?
It seems to always use the same (large) font when reading RSS feeds irrespective of the font size set for browsing (for example small or smaller).
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Dane

Cron RSS Reader

So I've been using newsbeuter like many people for over a year now. However, the one complaint I and many others have voiced on the forums is that: there exists no cron RSS reader. Sure you can run newsbeuter 24/7 with the auto-refresh feature enabled, but who wants that. So a week ago at the start of the holidays I wrote my own. Now after a week I have seen that it works and that it should be ready to release in beta. Please understand that this is designed in my favorite way; stupid simple. It is source edited and demands only two files: a history file, and the program. I wrote it in python because of the wonderful feedparser library and because this way you can edit your feeds on the fly without needing to recompile.
For anyone who wishes, feel free to play around with this and give me your feedback.
To get it working just run the following to ensure you have the deps:
sudo pacman -Sy coreutils curl python3 python-feedparser youtube-dl
Next put the following source in a file and chmod 700 it. Now you can ./rss or maybe put it in ~/bin and add that to your path so you can run it like any other binary. But wait! Now before you run it, you will more than likely want to edit the config unless you want all of my feeds and just happen to have a /home/keller/downloads folder you want all the stuff put in. To edit the urls just follow the examples I left in. They are in the style ("Name Of Feed", "http:\\example.com\rss\url.xml") where the first entry starts with and additional open brace and then each end in a comma if it is not the last feed entry or a additional close brace if it is. If you don't have anything for the particular category, just use (). Now give it a run by appending the --no-download option. If you don't, it's going to take a while and will work on every feed entry.
To quote --help:
Usage: rss [Options]
This is a zero hassle RSS reader. It is designed to be source configured and
run without a care in the world. Cron it, script it, just plain run it...
Options:
-h, --help Show me this message.
--no-download Do not act on new entries.
(Simply mark as old.)
-q, --quiet Don't talk.
-v, --say-something The opposite of -q.
In terms of action, it will:
First: Append new links to a file called links.html in the downloads folder that you can view with your browser of choice. This is the fastest so you can read your feeds while you wait on the downloads.
Second: Download the attached image from Deviant Art
Third: Download every youtube video at a max of 720p (To speed up the download and conserve bandwidth)
Lastly: Download all of your podcasts
I was debating adding twitter, but I don't use RSS for twitter (or twitter for that matter) so if there is a desire for it (or others) let me know.

That's all folks. If you do give it a try, please give feed back even if it's just that the whole thing sucks. I'd love to know what feeds don't work, if there is anything you want added, or if you just think it's swell.
If there appears to be some interest I'll look at putting this in the AUR. Maybe with a mode for config files so that each user can have thier feeds all independantly checked with each run under cron. Though that'll take some work to get just right so I'm only doing so if people are sure they would like such a feature. So yeah, feel free to ask for the moon, I'll see what I can do in most cases.
Lastly, I am humbly sorry that I suck at documenting how exactly it works here. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to post away and I will do my best to answer them.

This is a shame that Apple doesnt (somehow) make this one of the cross-platform features.
I mean come on, how many of us mac users actually have ALL our computer-using relatives on a mac? In a perfect world, all of us, but reality is, I'm the only one out of about 11 people on my and my wife's side of the family that we share pics of the kids with. Everyone else uses Winblows.
I was pumped when I heard about photocasting. Alas, now that I've tried to make this work smoothly for the novice windows users who want to see pictures of our kids, I realize there is *zero chance* of me being able to use this. There is no way I can see myself sending my 63 year old mother an RSS feed link and having her figure out what to do with it (when she can barely figure out how to look at the pics I send in email he he). If she has to go install an RSS reader, forget it.
Anyway, great mac only feature, but this would be a huge feather in Apple's cap if they could figure out how to serve this up to Windows end users just as effortlessly.

Linking to a Specific Spry panel (modified for RSS Reader)

Hi – I would like to implement the following tutorial however have it work for the Spry Framework RSS Reader: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/spry_url_utils.php
I understand the concept of this article and have been able to implement the solution up to step 4 however for my solution I am not working with tabbed panels or an accordion widget but the RSS Reader from the latest Spry Framework. I would like to have a specific feed and article selected on the page depending on what link the user has come from.
So instead of working with the tabbed panel and accordion variables I would be using the variables:
var dsCategories
var dsFeeds
var dsChannel
var dsArticles
I would like to know if anyone can assist me in modifying the solution to suit this scenario? or if it is even possible?
Thanks.
Michael.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for pointing me to this tutorial.
To keep things easier for myself I have kept the variable name as row. I have added the following code to the head of my called page:
On lines 9-10:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/SpryURLUtils.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject();</script>
On lines 19-26:
//define the data set
            var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data/LocalFeeds.xml", "feeds/feed");
            //get the url parameter for the row number
            var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject();
            //set an observer so that when the data is loaded, we update the current row to the url param value
            ds1.addobserver({ onPostLoad: function(ds, type) {
                                                                                                                            ds1.setCurrentRow(params.row); }
Currently my called page is still not loading in the wanted state with calling page passing the parameter row=2.
I aren’t sure what I am still missing but think it is perhaps something to do with setting the spry:region and spry:repeat to equal ds1? But not sure where I should be placing this.
Am I nearly there?
