Video Removal from News Feed to Kindle Paperwhite 2nd Generation

vinny3777 · 05-25-2014, 09:16 AM

I am trying to remove videos from my custom news feed. I have tried everything I know about python and nothing has worked. Can someone tell me what code I need to use in order to get rid of "This video cannot be played because the JavaScript isn't enabled"

Here is the code I made:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1400969285(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'NBC News'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
auto_cleanup = True
auto_cleanup_keep = '//div[@class="thumbnail"]'
filterDuplicates = True
remove_empty_feeds = True

feeds = [

(u'Top Stories' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/topstories' )
,(u'U.S. News' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/usnews' )
,(u'Technology' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/technology' )
,(u'Investigations' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/investigations' )
,(u'Business' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/business' )
,(u'Science' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/science' )
,(u'Health' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/health' )

]

remove_tags = [

dict(name='div', attrs={'class'

'^.*video.*$')}),

]

You cannot use both auto_cleanup and remove_tags. If you set auto_cleanup to true then remove tags will be ignored.

I tried that but then no articles came up just links and tables of contents?

Here is the new code

class AdvancedUserRecipe1400969285(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'NBC News'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
auto_cleanup = False
filterDuplicates = True
remove_empty_feeds = True

feeds = [

(u'Top Stories' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/topstories' )
,(u'U.S. News' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/usnews' )
,(u'Technology' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/technology' )
,(u'Investigations' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/investigations' )
,(u'Business' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/business' )
,(u'Science' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/science' )
,(u'Health' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/health' )

]

remove_tags = [

dict(name='div', attrs={'class'

'^.*video.*$')}),

]

If you are trying to remove tags that have the word video in their class attributes, you want

remove_tags = [

dict(name='div', attrs={'class':lambda x: x and 'video' in x.split())}),

]

Did that Kovid but this is the error message that came up

calibre, version 1.37.0
ERROR: Invalid input: <p>Could not create recipe. Error:<br>invalid syntax (<string>, line 23)

Here is the code again

class AdvancedUserRecipe1400969285(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'NBC News'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
auto_cleanup = False
filterDuplicates = True
remove_empty_feeds = True

feeds = [

(u'Top Stories' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/topstories' )
,(u'U.S. News' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/usnews' )
,(u'Technology' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/technology' )
,(u'Investigations' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/investigations' )
,(u'Business' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/business' )
,(u'Science' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/science' )
,(u'Health' , u'http://feeds.nbcnews.com/feeds/health' )

]

remove_tags = [

dict(name='div', attrs={'class':lambda x: x and 'video' in x.split())}),

]
