What I would love is that the pdf created by the software would include the comics that the rss feed would link to. Or am I asking too much?

Finally, here's a first test version. This is purely for testing, and if you have any comment on the app itself, if you encounter any bug, please report it in this thread.
A few extra points:

Stephen also did a short video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pu_G5KpAnR8
We'll do a real demo once we're past the first public beta. |

Just tried it with 8 feeds and a book. Works great! However, some of the RSS PDFs don't seem to get generated correctly but this ocurrs from the website too.

Yep that's what I said in my previous post. It's due to the current lack of a cache system, but we're working on this...

Okay, this is a great application. I think that if iRex could deliver this through the IDS, it would be the killer app for the iLiad.
There are a few notes I have that could make it even better, some I have discussed with Stephen, but I figured I'd put them here for all to see and to keep them organized.
I'm attaching a version that I compiled that does not need any dependencies other than what's built into the iLiad. Really, this is excellent work. Great job to Stephen and Hadrien. |

I've been really looking forward to this program!!!
Unfortunately, I didn't get it to work. Hadrians version crashed my iLiad (an empty error dialog popped up and stayed there, had to reset). Adams version causes the green light to blink for a while, then it is back to the content lister. Probably just my bad computer karma. I guess I should do some serious work anyway :-| |

(But it works perfectly when updating...) And this while running a ping to the iLiad, and a ping the other way if the connection is alive long enough for me to start it. |

That's odd. Try the file attached. If it doesn't work, let me know what's in the error.txt and output.txt |

I tried ssh'ing in. I keep an ping -t iliad (from my windowsbox), and the connection is up and down. I have auto-reconnect in my ssh-client, and the connection goes up again quite often. I then tried starting run.sh thru ssh, and it didn't work. I think the problem might be the connectionmanager part of run.sh - it crashed my ssh-connection and the network connection. I then started a new ssh-session and tried ./iNewsStand, and the application is up and running. I've even downloaded Also sprach Zarathustra twice - I guess the GUI could need some minor adjustments Do you want me to attach my entire ssh log? There were quite a lot of messages there Last edited by narve; 12-18-2007 at 04:43 PM. Reason: typos |

Hm, check this out:
root@ereader:/media/cf/books/iNewsStand# ./run.sh -sh: ./run.sh: not found root@ereader:/media/cf/books/iNewsStand# I am not a linux expert - what does this mean? Anyways, if I start the application using ./iNewsStand it works. I don't know if the command root@ereader:/media/cf/books/iNewsStand# connectionMgr --background --stay-connected worked or not, but it could seem as if the connection got back up again whenever iNewsStand needed it. At least I managed to download three books even though my ping sometimes were silent for long periods. I'll do some more experimenting and report back if I find out anything. Gotta try some of the RSS functionality. I attach the output of the connectionMgr in case it is of interest. |
