Does elfeed-protocol-feeds replace elfeed-feeds?

[ckeschnat]

Hello, when using both elfeed-protocol-feeds and elfeed-feeds, elfeed-feeds is ignored. So I assume elfeed-protocol-feeds replaces it?

PS: I am a new elfeed user, meaning I did not use elfeed before 0.9.0 when elfeed-protocol-feeds was introduced (?), so I had no elfeed setup before that.

Thanks

Yes, since version 0.9.0 , elfeed-protocol use variable elfeed-protocol-feeds instead of elfeed-feeds to fix conflict issues to extensions that modify or require elfeed-feeds, such as elfeed-org, elfeed-summary.

If you dont' use elfeed before, just keep elfeed-feeds empty and setup elfeed-protocol-feeds only.

Cool, thanks. Older users should then migrate their feeds over from elfeed-feeds to elfeed-protocol-feeds, right? If so I will make a PR for the readme to make this clearer.

[fasheng]

Fine, welcome your PR. There is a NOTE in readme, but it looks not too eye-catching.

[fasheng]

I convert the old migrating note to important note, looks eye-catching now ;)

Ok, cool :) Although I now noticed that it doesn't seem to be a drop-in replacement, e.g. autotags don't work anymore. Maybe that is specific to me and I don't want to take any more of your time. Thanks for this package, I will figure everything out in time. This issue can be closed I think.

You mean original :autotags syntax in elfeed-feeds/elfeed-protocol-feeds? It still works, however use elfeed-org is a better choice.

OK, I will close the issue. Enjoy!

Hi, I meant e.g. the xah in this example:

(setq elfeed-protocol-feeds
            '(("ttrss+https://me@ttrss.mysite"
               :password (password-store-get "ttrss.mysite/me"))
              ("https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCXEJNKH9I4xsoyUNN3IL96A" xah)))

Worked with elfeed-feeds, does not work with elfeed-protocol-feeds.

I see, there is two solutions:

1. copy the youtube feed to :autotags field

   (setq elfeed-protocol-feeds
         '(("ttrss+https://me@ttrss.mysite"
            :password (password-store-get "ttrss.mysite/me")
            :autotags (("https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCXEJNKH9I4xsoyUNN3IL96A" xah)))
           ("https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCXEJNKH9I4xsoyUNN3IL96A" xah)))

2. copy the youtube feed to elfeed-feeds, if there are many feeds, just use following config:

   (setq elfeed-feeds '(("https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCXEJNKH9I4xsoyUNN3IL96A" xah)))
   (setq elfeed-protocol-feeds '(("ttrss+https://me@ttrss.mysite"
                                  :password (password-store-get "ttrss.mysite/me"))))
   (setq elfeed-protocol-feeds (append elfeed-protocol-feeds elfeed-feeds))

Oooh, thanks so much. I just tried 2. and it works perfectly :)

Maybe this is something for the readme?

[fasheng]

You are right, the example code was added to README now.
