Official News RSS feed not working correctly

[JeffTheLandShark]

I can't post links yet, but the content of the feed at "/official/index.rss" is garbled, and the pictures are missing. The one at "/forums/gbatemp-scene-news.101/index.rss" does show everything right, but it's organized by last reply date, so every time someone comments on a post, it gets moved to the top of the feed.

 

[SylverReZ]

It's working just fine for me. Not sure what you're trying to achieve.

For me the first feed shows this with no picture

And the second one shows it right and also includes the picture

I would like to use the first one because it shows the news in order, but it currently has this problem. I'm currently using Feeder as my RSS reader, but I also checked on ReadYou and manually importing the link on Feedly and they both show the same thing

 

[JeffTheLandShark]

It turns out that the second feed can be sorted by adding ?order=post_date to the end of the URL, so problem solved

 

[update-freak]

I have issues with the RSS-fee: cURL error 22 in FreshRSS.
validator . w3 . org / feed / check . cgi
-> here it says: It looks like this is a web page, not a feed

I also checked with FreshRSS:
github . com / FreshRSS / FreshRSS / issues / 7126

 

[Tostiman]

The RSS feed is misconfigured. It won't validate in the W3 RSS validator and FreshRSS can't accept it.

 

[update-freak]

That means the RSS Feed should be fixed through an admin, right?
@Costello Can you check this or link the correct person to fix this that FreshRSS can be used for the Feeds.
Thanks a lot

 

[update-freak]

@SylverReZ Can you please check if RSS is working on your end?

 

[update-freak]

Changedetection also not work.
I also tried to program something with ChatGPT, but this also not work due to protection from Cloudflare for automatic access.

So it would be really good to see a working RSS-feed again

 

[Chary]

@update-freak there were some changes. Does the RSS work for you now?

 

[update-freak]

@Chary : Yes, now it works again on FreshRSS. Thank you very much!

I also checked it here: https://validator.w3.org/feed/ and got the following response:

Congratulations!​

This is a valid RSS feed.

Recommendations​

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feedreaders could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

• line 15, column 38: The specified guid is not sufficiently unique: 669910 (30 occurrences) [help]
  

  <guid isPermaLink="false">669910</guid>

[update-freak]

@Chary Currently the RSS feed does not work again.
I get cURL error 22: The requested URL returned error: 403 [https://gbatemp.net/forums/gbatemp-scene-news.101/index.rss]

 

[gbatempfan1]

I got a different error, but am also having issues, in quiterss I got "Error transferring https://gbatemp.net/forums/gbatemp-scene-news.101/index.rss - server replied: Forbidden (201)" , may last update was on Monday, June 9th

 

[gbatempfan1]

The rss worked momentarily an hour ago and a half ago, then it went back to "server replied: Forbidden (201)" , please consider making an exception for rss endpoints. QuiteRSS 's user agent is "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/77.0.3865.120 Safari/537.36"" if that makes any difference.

It also has an accept header of

Accept: application/atom+xml,application/rss+xml;q=0.9,application/xml;q=0.8,text/xml;q=0.7,*/*;q=0.6

So maybe can consider whitelist if an accept header contains certain strings in addition or alternatively?

 

[tpax]

Can't import the RSS (https://gbatemp.net/official/index.rss) feed into miniflux, it says:

Access to this website is forbidden. Perhaps, this website has a bot protection mechanism?

Also, RSS validators return:

Server returned HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Anything changed?

 

[gbatempfan1]

Maybe it is too early to celebrate but it seems it has been working again for me the last 24 hours. Thanks for whatever the staff did to get it working again! Hopefully it won't go out for several months again, but it is what it is.

@tpax is it working for you again as well?

 

[tpax]

@gbatempfan1 nah, still not working.

 

[update-freak]

for me the RSS feed is working on FreshRSS (added it 12h before)

 

[TwistedZeon]

For me it was working for a brief time recently on FreshRSS but has since stopped working on anything. Miniflux keeps suggesting it's bot protection which is likely Cloudflare causing the problem. Would really be nice to have this fixed and working though as I love getting the news from here it's just more convenient to get all my news in one spot obviously.
