Open TheOneImprove opened 2 weeks ago

TheOneImprove commented 2 weeks ago

Steps to Reproduce

1.Fetch the feed entries.

What is currently happening: all or some of them fetch as delivered at the current time and date.

Example Feeds: Have I been Pwned: https://feeds.feedburner.com/HaveIBeenPwnedLatestBreaches

Almodon (Arabic): https://www.almodon.com/rss

To do

jocmp commented 2 weeks ago

hey @TheOneImprove - thanks for the links. both of these sites are using non-standard timestamp formats. in those cases the app falls back to the "arrived at" time for each article. I'll add some code to handle these cases.

jocmp commented 2 weeks ago

@TheOneImprove - I have a fix up for the first feed that I'll include in the next version. Here's a demo of what that looks like:

I'm not sure I have a good fix for the other feed. That one posts published dates with future timestamps like this article: https://www.almodon.com/politics/2024/9/14/إسرائيل-تجمع-الميدانين-اللبناني-والسوري-إنزالات-الكومندوس-البداية. So the issue for that feed is not a parsing bug.

In my humble opinion, I think that it might be better to support future timestamps instead of leaving it at the current state.

Just wanted to say that you are really one of the best developers I interacted with.

Thank you for creating this amazing RSS reader.

That sounds good to me. I'll add handling for future timestamps with #361. Thanks for the kind words!

@TheOneImprove - I have a fix up for the first feed that I'll include in the next version.

I deleted capy reader and reinstalled the new version from F-Droid, upon importing my subscriptions, I noticed some of my subscriptions come as now.

Here is examples:

Notice: I just noticed that you released 2024.09.1049 , I will check it out on F-Droid and report back here.

Thank you for your work.

TheOneImprove commented 1 week ago

The bug still exists at the latest f-droid version.

jocmp commented 1 week ago

@TheOneImprove which version number are you seeing on F-Droid? F-Droid's builds usually have a lag up to a week and the fix is available in 2024.09.1049 which I created yesterday.

The IzzyOnDroid version is usually available more quickly if you want to add an F-Droid repo. I would expect that to update to 2024.09.1049 in a day or two.

TheOneImprove commented 1 week ago

I meant the izzyondroid version, I did not know that you release also on the main F-Droid repo.

The version is 2024.09.1049.

jocmp commented 1 week ago

I'm not seeing the issue anymore on 2024.09.1049. Let me know how it compares to what you're seeing. Here's what I have.

Times are correct for https://feeds.feedburner.com/HaveIBeenPwnedLatestBreaches

For https://www.almodon.com/rss future times are saved as the "arrived at" time. This is how Feedbin handles future times and it ensures that there's a specific point-in-time to avoid showing "Just now" or a future date. The problem with future dates is that they may never arrive depending on what the server sends back.

Note how the published date is 5:04PM while the current time is 5:06PM. This is different to how it was previously where the published date was always kept in the future.

I rechecked on the latest version, the have I been pwned rss has been fixed, the following is still fetched as the current time and then cached(The time is the first time it get fetched:

Thank you for your valuable work.
