I have fixed issue for invalid RSS & Atom

[developer0725]

Some of feed engines don't accept special user-agent. Please change user-agent to browser agent such as chrome or Firefox.

Hi @developer0725 I was looking forward for a fix to this problem for very long time ( I wish I knew python to help fix it ), it is clear that @fogleman abandoned this project. he's not merging any PQs or adding new commits since very long time, can you please make a binary release in your forked repo. so many people like me can benefit from your bug fixes and contribution. Thank you.

[developer0725]

please check installer folder. run /install.bat

[usrnm-nk]

@developer0725 I can see the installer on your repo now, Thank you very much :)

[usrnm-nk]

@developer0725 after installation when I run the exe I get this message:

here is notifier.exe.log content:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 47, in File "main.py", line 34, in main File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 82, in load_module File "ipc.pyo", line 3, in File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 82, in load_module File "util.pyo", line 10, in ImportError: No module named feedparser

try again now

@developer0725 Thank you so much, Feed Notifier runs without problems now, but the bug "invalid RSS & Atom" still exists.

here is an example rss feed with that problem: https://www.theverge.com/google/rss/index.xml

[developer0725]

I run correctly with same rss.

[developer0725]

remove everything and try again.

[usrnm-nk]

I run correctly with same rss.

Wow I don't know why I get that error, do you think it is related to OS that I'm running it on? it is win 7 SP1 x64

[usrnm-nk]

remove everything and try again.

Uninstalled it and deleted its folder than installed it again, same problem

[developer0725]

right. my os is windows10 64bit,but when I try in win7,I meet same issue. Let me think.

[usrnm-nk]

@developer0725 I notice that this problem only occurred with HTTPS feeds, maybe it is something related to TLS/SSL stuff?

[developer0725]

but it run correctly in windows10.

[usrnm-nk]

Btw this what is created in "notifier.exe.log" when I get that error message.

WARNING: yacc table file version is out of date WARNING: Couldn't open 'parser.out'. [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Feed Notifier\library.zip\parser.out' Generating LALR tables WARNING: Couldn't create 'parsetab'. [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Feed Notifier\library.zip\parsetab.py'

Oh man, this is weird as hell! First I just wanna state that I never programmed in python, but since I love Feed Notifier so much I tried to understand what's causing the problem and downloaded the original master branch to my PC to take a closer look at the code. after installing all the dependencies I hit the run button, and what happens after that made me very surprised, the rss feed that I reported to be causing the bug on my machine actually WORKED!!! please see for yourself in this picture:

Maybe there are some dependency that needs to be included with Feed Notifier installer was missing before but I have no Idea what it is.

[developer0725]

maybe, you are right. I have built them in windows10.

[developer0725]

this is what our problem is. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37273476/py2exe-memoryloadlibrary-failed-loading-ssl-pyd-win7-win10

[developer0725]

try again now

[developer0725]

I have tested installer in windows7

[usrnm-nk]

@developer0725 OH YEAH FINALLY :) It works like a charm now without any problems, Thank you very much I really appreciate you fixing this annoying bug, it made Feed Notifier usable again. Thanks again and cheers.
