RSS Feed Prob...

[AKninja04]

Hello everyone! I'm new to the world of e-book readers but a few years into e-books in general. I just paid for my Sony Reader and should get it in the next few days. I wanted to be able to get the very best out of it so I downloaded calibre to convert my e-books and I saw that it had the option to make e-books out of RSS feeds.

I tried to make my own custom recipe, called "Gamer's Corner" for all of my game related feeds. From what I can see, they are full-content feeds. So I added all of them:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/qj/ps3
http://feeds.feedburner.com/qj/xbox360
http://feeds.feedburner.com/qj/wii
http://feeds.feedburner.com/qj/ds
http://feeds.feedburner.com/qj/psp

*Original Sites*

ps3.qj.net
xbox360.qj.net
wii.qj.net
ds.qj.net
psp.qj.net

But after I created the recipe and tried to fetch it, the log gave me this error message:

('URLError', u""):
Traceback:

URLError:
Log:

Don't know what it means or what to do so any help would be greatly appreciated because this is a great feature that I would really like to take advantage of. Thank you.

*UPDATE*

I figured out that I was copying the wrong link for the RSS feeds and that I was actually copying firefox's RSS feeder link (feedburner). So the error has gone but in its place...nothing.

After the e-book has been made, its only content is the header and that's it. Here's what it looks like. I made it with the "PS3 Updates" feed just for example (I use dual screen monitors so that's the reason why the picture looks extended):




Could someone please let me know what to do from this point? The actually feed is http://ps3.qj.net/rss.xml.

[kovidgoyal]

Run it with the --test and --debug switches to get more information on what's happening.

[AKninja04]

I'm sorry, I've only been using the GUI up to this point and don't know any of the command prompt commands for calibre. Could you please tell me what I should type before the --test and --debug switches?

[kovidgoyal]

If you're using the GUI, then just click on the hourglass and double click on the download job (once it is completed) to see the debugging details.

[AKninja04]

Thanks. It's a little long but here's everything:
