Well I cannot see any flash in the articles I have readed, actually this is not the problem at all if you check the other articles.

I am just tryinf to get somthing in calibre but I cannot get anything with the address

http://www.farodevigo.es//elementosInt/rss/2

But I can see the rss page and the code and so when I open it in firefox, I dont know if it is related to flash.

I have no clue but I amagine that there is something in the server that checks the browser or something with Java and send or not the page, but this I am just guessing.

If anyone could cook a recipe of just give me any hints I would apprecciate.

Regards.

Next I destroyed all my cookies and clicked 'reload'. There was the flash movie again.

Nice...

Now, as far as I understand Calibre uses only one instance of a browser to parse pages; and that browser supports cookies. So a possible workaround is to parse the feeds by hand, open the first article manually, ignore the result and let Calibre proceed. As cookies are now set, it should work. Or maybe not, I don't know.

Maybe Kovid can tell if this is feasible.
