It turns out that the issue here has to do with the new text transcoding feature. The content at the URL is encoded using ISO8859-15, which is a supported input encoding, but not a supported output encoding. Since the default setting for the output encoding is to use the encoding of the first source file, the content ends up being blank. As Alexander already mentioned, the workaround for now is to go into the Properties for the entry with iSiloX, go to the Document tab, click "Text Encoding Options" and set the "Output document text encoding" to "Western European (Windows-1252)", then reconvert. In the next beta update to iSiloX, this issue will be addressed so that if the first source file text encoding is not a supported output encoding, the output will be automatically set to windows-1252.

Problem with Default Text Encoding Options
iSilo/X V4.0 beta 2 installed, using WCC V1.10.
Applied the following default setting:
iSiloX -> Document -> Default Properties -> Document ->
Output document text encoding = Windows-1252
For source files that do not... = Windows-1252
Convert "Spiegel +" (from WCC, General World News -> German) with Properties -> Document -> Text Encoding Options ->
Output document text encoding = default
For source files that do not... = default
iSiloX parses the channel successfully, but the resulting file is empty with only 7Kb. If I change the channel properties to Properties -> Document -> Text Encoding Options ->
Output document text encoding = Windows-1252 the resulting file is OK.
