Thanks

Nevermind...

That because it supports light weight markup. i.e. it converts TXT to html first and then to LRF.

When adding LIT books to libprs500, I am getting the same error, "can't set attribute". The traceback is

can't set attribute
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 269, in add_books
File "main.py", line 288, in _add_books
AttributeError: can't set attribute

This only happens with lit files. Any ideas? thanks

I had what I thought was a bug but I figured it out. I installed this program once I read that it supports rss news feeds from newspapers. Cool. After installing the program, with a bit of problem with drivers, I got it set up and tried to download the NYT. It just sat there and waited, with progress stating unavailable. I could not figure out how to cancel this so I simply turned the program off. I tried it again with the Newsweek feed. Exact same error.

I realize now, after looking through the code, is that I am in China. The Chinese government, in their benevolent wisdom, has blocked access to newsfeeds, which is probably why it just hung up. Since it could not get access to the sites, it just kept on trying and trying. Frustrating, but not the software fault.

Or I could be wrong about all of this but I don't think so. Is there any way to stop this gathering of rss feeds without having to turn the program off? Or will it finally time out once it can not access the site? I can receive some rss feeds as long as they do not have certain words in their url, like rss and such. I might try to figure out how to add an rss feed myself, one that does not use a forbidden url to see if it will work.

It should stop once it times out on all RSS feeds. You'd be better off using the command line interface for testing e.g.

Code:

web2lrf --verbose nytimes

Hmmm, I left it running when I went to bed and woke up to find it done! Maybe I just had a very slow connection last night. The BBC stopped immediately, but the other two worked. However, when I tried to upload the newspapers into my device, this is the error message I got.

Any ideas?

Looks like a temporary error, try re-connecting the reader and doing it again.

Tom Swift · 11-21-2007, 03:54 PM

Did some more playing around and I found I can upload the newspapers to the storage card, as well as books, but when I try to upload directly to the device, I get the above error again. I tried to upload a single newspaper and a single book, and received a similar error.

kovidgoyal · 11-21-2007, 03:55 PM

Are you out of space?

Tom Swift · 11-21-2007, 03:55 PM

I tried that. I closed the program and turned off the reader and then turned on the reader and plugged it in and then ran the program. Same error.

Tom Swift · 11-21-2007, 03:56 PM

No, main memory is empty.
