PalmGear - RSS Feeds working again!

Alexander Turcic · 10-25-2004, 10:48 AM

Earlier today I mentioned that PalmGear has changed its site layout which has unfortunately caused our PalmGear RSS feeds to stop working.

Well they are back again, alive and kickin'! Sorry for the small delay I needed to analyze PalmGear's new site layout.

The feeds:

PalmGear New Software:
https://www.mobileread.com/feeds/pgupdated_rss20.xml

PalmGear New Updates:
https://www.mobileread.com/feeds/pgnews_rss20.xml

I'd gladly appreciate any of your comments.

In case you are still receiving a "FeedLiquifier/2.00: parsing failed" message... it seems PalmGear servers are very slow and inresponsive today, so when the script fails to connect to PalmGear, it will try again after 30 minutes. The delay is intented to avoid hammering the PalmGear site.

Works great here, Alex. I like the screenshots that are now added to the feeds. Very cool!

Thanks for the feeds. I've just stumbled over them, after the Newsisfree ones were no longer updated.

Sometimes you might still receive an error that feed parsing failed. The cause is PalmGear's horribly slow server which sometimes time-outs. This is nothing to worry about though, the next time the feed updates (after 30mins) it gives PalmGear server another try. I will implement a more meaningful error message soon.

Hi Alexander,

unfortunaltely it doesn't work for me. I'm using Newsfire as feedreader on my Mac. Since yesterday I haven't received a correct post from the following feeds:

Update:

PalmGear: Latest Business and Finance Parsing Failed on Sat, 01 Dec 2007 06:50:06 +0000
PalmGear: Latest Games Parsing Failed on Sat, 01 Dec 2007 06:49:14 +0000
PalmGear: Latest Utilities Parsing Failed on Sat, 01 Dec 2007 06:45:50 +0000
PalmGear: New Software Titles Parsing Failed on Sat, 01 Dec 2007 06:40:06 +0000
PalmGear: Updated Software Titles Parsing Failed on Sat, 01 Dec 2007 07:08:29 +0000

Anything I can do about this?

Regards

Gerald
