KindleEar, the Calibre running on GAE, deliver RSS to your kindle automatically.

[cdhigh]

I modified and ported the Calibre to run on GAE two months ago, the web application can aggregate RSS to generate a MOBI file with images, then deliver to your kindle automatically.

The KindleEar is open source application, source code hosted in github:
https://github.com/cdhigh/KindleEar

My website:
https://kindleear.appspot.com/

or you can refer to FAQ for much information firstly:

Hi cdhigh;
firstly thanks for the great app. that you made. I'm quite new here sorry if I posted this at wrong section. I tried kindleear with some sites and it worked with no prob. But after I mixed some rss' (which have different encoding type I guess) with yahoo pipes, a character problem occurs.

I tried changing pipes' pageencoding and urlencoding at the appspot.com/dbviewer But It changes back the previous one. My language is Turkish and sample rss : http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.ru...c0&_render=rss

Is there smth that we can do? Thanks again.

Please update to 1.13.5 and above, and set ALWAY_CHAR_DETECT to True.

sadly it doesnt work after I tried to set "true". Then I did change it to false and it looks like :http://i.imgur.com/WhnWojH.png

It doesnt recognize apostrophe and quotes but when I try on mobi file reader on windows same page is shown like http://i.imgur.com/rwzFiCJ.png

this one http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.ru...c0&_render=rss

actually original rss is http://rss.hurriyet.com.tr/rss.aspx?sectionId=9
when I add this directly to kindlear it works with no prob. But when I use this through pipes encoding problems occur
appspot syl0wan.appspot.com

[cdhigh]

The reason found:
the real encoding of pages is windows-1254, but encoding detected by 'chardet' module is iso-8859-2.
and there are not encoding declaration in the http header.

Solved:
Update to version 1.20, and set the variable 'TRUST_ENCODING_IN_HEADER_OR_META' to True, keep the variable 'ALWAYS_CHAR_DETECT' is False (default value).

PS:
I can use link 'http://rss.hurriyet.com.tr/rss.aspx?sectionId=9' to capture page, no need to replaced by yahoo pipe. please remember uncheck the switch 'isfulltext' before you add this link to custom rss.

[thomass]

actually header includes the encoding:
example page link: http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/yazarlar/26376737.asp

[cdhigh]

yes, it is in html header (meta field), this is reason that TRUST_ENCODING_IN_HEADER_OR_META=True will solve the problem.
I mean that it not in http response header, KindleEar will use encoding if encoding in http header and that in html header are the same, otherwise, will use encoding detected by chardet.
for other countries I have not sure, but sites in China are very complicated, frequently them are not the same (there are many programers inexperienced and lazy).

TRUST_ENCODING_IN_HEADER_OR_META=True redefine the encoding finding behavior, use first one found (http response header is primary priority, followed by html header, chardet)

TRUST_ENCODING_IN_HEADER_OR_META=False is the default behavior, first is header encoding (if same in http header and html header), followed by chardet.

actually the original rss (rss.hurr..) had already no problem. I wanted to use yahoo pipes. but nevermind then

Hi, I set up kinldleEar but I can't login to the secret area. My host is nuovaresistenza-kindlerss.appspot.com and I was already logged in my browser when I updated the app, so no one asked passwords to me.

I never used google app egine before, please help me!

[cdhigh]

Open appengine.google.com and choose your application, view "Logs",

If have “NeedIndexError: no matching index found.”, you can execute cmd "python appcfg.py update_indexes KindleEar/" in your computer to update the index of your application (KindleEar is directory of you application, please change as yours).

If have “UnknownQueueError”, can execute "python appcfg.py update_queues KindleEar/".

Or you can deploy again.

The default username is "admin", default password is "admin" too.

Ok, the problem was this one.
Could you add default username and password to the first post?

[cdhigh]
