RSS limited articles on Kindle?

[heberlima]

Hi. I own a Kindle Paperwhite (PW1). I use a custom recipe to get rss feeds from my personal blog and create an ebook with lyrics and other texts. However I noticed that no matter what I put in "max_articles_per_feed" in the recipe, my device only shows up to 10 links in the menu. When I add a new post in my blog and run the recipe again, the latest article becomes the first item in the menu and the former 10th article disappears, keeping only 10 items listed in the menu. Is this a Kindle limitation or is there something wrong with my recipe? Here is the code:



#!/usr/bin/env python
# vim:fileencoding=utf-8
from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe

class AdvancedUserRecipe1601310754(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = 'MÚSICAS, SERMÕES E TEXTOS DIVERSOS'
oldest_article = 120
max_articles_per_feed = 30
auto_cleanup = True

feeds = [
('SERMÕES', 'https://letrasdoheber.wordpress.com/tag/sermoes/feed'),
('ILUSTRAÇÕES', 'https://letrasdoheber.wordpress.com/tag/Ilustrações/feed'),
('POEMAS', 'https://letrasdoheber.wordpress.com/tag/poemas/feed'),
('SOLOS', 'https://letrasdoheber.wordpress.com/tag/solos/feed'),
('TRIO L3', 'https://letrasdoheber.wordpress.com/tag/trio-l3/feed'),
('AUTORAIS', 'https://letrasdoheber.wordpress.com/tag/composicoes-proprias/feed'),
]

Look at the rss feed, many rss feeds show only a few entries at a time, ten being a common number.

Tks. Found it at Wordpress's control panel. All working like a charm now.

Also, another menu related question, although not specifically to recipes (sorry, didn't know exactly where to post it, I'm new to the forum):

While looking for a solution to the recipe menu limitation problem, I also decided to create an azw3 file from a MS Word document, save it as html and add the book to Calibre's Library so that I could create a multi level menu with the xPath functionality. The lyrics are categorized in a 4 level tree, such as:

1.PERSONAL COMPOSITIONS
2.SPECIAL OCASIONS
3.RANDOM
4. LYRIC 1
4. LYRIC 2
4. LYRIC 3
3.SPECIFIC EVENTS
4. LYRIC 1
4. LYRIC 2

Everything looks fine in Calibre's ebook viewer with all the levels working properly. However, when I transfer the file to my device, the "Go To" button inside the book opens a menu with only 3 levels. Given my above example, I'm stuck at level 3 (RANDOM and SPECIFIC EVENTS) and the fourth level does not appear. Am I missing something? As far as I could understand, Calibre creates up to 5 levels of menu with xPath, right?

Ok. That's frustrating. Tks, anyway.
