Hi all, Has anyone used Wellfed RSS plugin? It’s working great for most RSS feeds, but I can’t get it to work with YouTube RSS feeds - no content is being imported. Does anyone have any advice please? Do I need to do something differently than a regular RSS feed?

Of course! [image] [Paid] Embedding: Allowing one RSS feed and one username per host shopping_cartMarketplace Status update. @xrav3nz developed this Discourse Wellfed plugin that I have been testing in the past two weeks. Importing RSS feeds from different sources and into different categories works very well! You can define the frequency, and in theory you can add dozens of feeds without hogging your server. The only point pending is assigning the topics created to the right user. In fact, this seems to be a problem in Discourse and not in this plugin. The topics created via RSS poll are assigned t… [image] GitHub - discourse/discourse-rss-polling Contribute to discourse/discourse-rss-polling development by creating an account on GitHub.

Well, then you might want to ask @xrav3nz :wink:

Thank you. I have just messaged @xrav3nz.

Hey @christian_01, thanks for checking out the plugin! Do you see any errors in the logs (https://discourse.yoursite.com/logs)? Do you have an example YouTube feed URL that I could use to test?

Hey @xrav3nz, thanks for getting back in touch. Here are a couple of URLs to test: HP HERE Technologies I’ve asked my developer to check the error logs. I will report back shortly.

FYI, we have a self-hosted site running on a Digital Ocean server.

I have another bug @xrav3nz I hope you can help with. Some feeds aren’t being categorised properly, even though the are set up correctly in the plug-in setting. Please see - https://businesscomputingworld.co.uk/latest You’ll notice a lot of feeds aren’t labelled correctly under ‘News’ when they should be - they have no label in fact.

[image] christian_01: I can’t get it to work with YouTube RSS feeds - no content is being imported. It appears that the YouTube’s feed uses the Media RSS extension. Both Discourse core and the Wellfed plugin relies on the Ruby RSS module to parse feeds, but it does not support that extension. I don’t have plans to add supports for the extension, but I am open to PRs! I imagine the change will need to teach the Ruby RSS module and DiscourseWellfed::FeedItem about the new elements.

Could you share (or DM me): the feed URL, and your set up for that feed in Customize > Embedding > Allowed Hosts

Hi, @xrav3nz, I have the same problem. Here is feed url : [image] For me only cointelegraph going to news category. And here is “Allowed hosts” [image] Could you check it. Thanks

Hi @bintom, I believe it can be fixed by simply adjusting your settings: change coindesk’s allowed host to www.coindesk.com change ccn’s path whitelist to .* or /news/.* I didn’t test the last one, but the change required is along the same lines. :wink: I will add a section in the plugin’s README noting this common pitfall. Please note that changing the setting will not retroactively update the existing topics, but any new topics should be posted to the designated category.
