Newsfeed with own RSS2 resp. XML

thgmirror

Hi colleagues,
I’m trying to use in the Newsfeed-module an own feed on the RPI. So no external link to for example Tagesschau but to a file in the MagicMirror-folder.
I tried this:
url: “http://192.168.2.117:8080/home/pi/MagicMirror/podcasts.rss2”
but without success. I only see “Lade …”
Currently I have in podcasts.rss2 a copy of the Tagesschau-feed.
Anyone an idea?

Thank you for any help
and Greetings from Bonn

@thgmirror said in Newsfeed with own RSS2 resp. XML:

url: “http://192.168.2.117:8080/home/pi/MagicMirror/podcasts.rss2”

the server at http://192.168.2.117:8080

uses the MagicMirror folder as the root

so

“http://192.168.2.117:8080/podcasts.rss2”

Hm, no success…any other idea?

@thgmirror the MM should says starting a fetcher for
like this from my system

Create new news fetcher for url: http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml - Interval: 300000

this will show in the terminal window where npm start was done, or in the logs if pm2
pm2 logs --lines=100
(or more than 100)

@thgmirror also, is your config set to address:“0.0.0.0” or “localhost”

if localhost, then u must use localhost or 127.0.0.1

“http://localhost:8080/podcasts.rss2”

http://localhost:8080/os

Also localhost has no affect…and the solution yoi mentioned before I’ll try later;-)

@thgmirror sorry, the root is /MagicMirror, but the available paths under are modules etc

so, this works

http://localhost:8080/modules/podcasts.rss2

and the file is located in MagicMirror/modules

Yeah Yeah Yeah - Success!!!
I moved the file to the modules-folder and now it works!!!

I plan to use the Newsfeed-ticker to display a protocoll of my podcast-downloader…I have some special requirements;-)

Thank you, Sam
