Discover Magazine recipe no longer working

jumafl · 02-10-2013, 05:33 PM

The standard Discover Magazine recipe that's delivered with Calibre no longer works. The output mobi file contains a bunch of "failed feed" messages. I believe the problem started when the site's RSS feeds moved to FeedBurner.

Fortunately I found that I'm able get most of what I want by creating a basic news recipe. The basic recipe was working fine until today when I noticed one news article was incomplete. When I checked the website I saw the following: "This article is only available to registered users of DISCOVERMagazine.com. Register now for FREE and get instant access!"

The FeedBurner page is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/20ThingsYouDidntKnowAbout

The story on the page is called: 20 Things You Didn't Know About... Hibernation

we will need login info to fix this. If you give me your login info I will try. Right now put sonme dummy password and when I have fixed it you can switch to some secure password.
