rss aggregator error

I get the following error:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://endor.wfyi.org/RSSAggregate.aspx?pageid=10&mid=24
Line Number 1, Column 4:Can't close RssWriter without first writing a channel.
---^

Is this because the aggregator hasn't ran yet or did I not install the feed correctly?

please view at htt://157.91.66.8

Re: rss aggregator error

it seems like the aggregator is very picky about what feeds it will accept.

I can get your MojoPortal changes feed and Mono's feed.. but not slashdot, npr, or soundmedicine to work.

Re: rss aggregator error

I'll take a look at it this evening and see if I can make it more tolerant.

I experienced this recently when my feed was added to the monologue aggregator it didn't work until I corrected my publish date to GMT format. 

I realize you have no control over the feed format so I'll see what I can do to make it more tolerant.

Re: rss aggregator error

This does appear to be an issue with the RSS.NET component I'm using.

http://rss-net.sourceforge.net/

Someone posted this bug:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=927898&group_id=72245&atid=533862

Since I have the source code for it I will try to fix it.

Re: rss aggregator error

This is now fixed. I've updated the download files so if you are having this problem and you downloaded before 4/4/2005 6PM Central US time please download again.

The only file you need to replace is  RSS.NET.dll in the bin folder, nothing else has changed so no need to re-install. Just replace the file and you may need to restart apache.
