Google Reader Watch does not support more than 20 items #63

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be great if there was a way for Specto to notify you of new items
in your Google Reader. Windows and Mac have notifiers but currently I don't
know of a way to do this in Linux.

interesting. If someone provides a watch for this I guess it could be cool. No 
idea
how it would be done though. And then, since a feedreader almost always has 
news,
Specto would bug you every single minute, so I'm not sure how useful it would 
be :)

Well I believe there is a RSS feed for your own google reader, but I tried 
adding a
watch and it forwarded specto to some google login page. And as far as frequent
updates, it all depends on how many feeds you subscribe to in greader. Some 
people
have new items more frequently then others. I just find it annoying that there 
is a
greader notifier for windows and mac but not linux. This program seemed like a
possible candidate to fill that need.

Where is that RSS feed? I have not seen it.

If you view Google Reader with Firefox, in the address bar it will show the RSS 
icon
and from there you can subscribe to a feed with your items.

Perhaps if there was a way to input your google password into specto (like when 
you
make a watch for gmail) maybe it could login to view that customized feed of 
your
greader items so you can make a watch for it.

I guess I'm not against the idea, so if someone provides a patch it would 
surely be
welcome :)

Now that's where I don't know how I can help with no programming experience.

i looked into this and it should be possible.
i found this api documentation for python:
http://code.google.com/p/pyrfeed/wiki/GoogleReaderAPI
so when i have the time i will try to get it to work in specto!
will be nice that we can add an other watch type to our list :)

Nice, sounds promising, I'll look forward to trying it out when it becomes 
available.

I just committed this watch to the repo but i think it still needs much testing!
Because i don't actually use google reader, i was not sure if i actually works 
for
people with a other/better google reader setup.

there is also no "add watch" option available for this type of watch, but you 
can
easily add it by adding this to your ~/.specto/watches.list:
[Google reader test]
username = yourUsername
password = yourPassword
type = 5
refresh = 36000

Please tell me if you find a bug (and i think you will :p)

How can I go about testing this out?

Original comment by gtr...@gmail.com on 3 Sep 2007 at 7:59

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Can you run the SVN (development) version of specto? See the middle of this 
page:
http://code.google.com/p/specto/wiki/Installing

Original comment by nekoh...@gmail.com on 3 Sep 2007 at 8:03

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
first make sure you have the newest svn version with this command "svn up".
after you have to add the options i mentioned above to your watches.list file 
with
your favorite text-editor...
install specto and run it...
enjoy your notification!

options for your watches.list:
[Google reader test]
username = yourUsername
password = yourPassword
type = 5
refresh = 36000

you don't even have to install specto, from the svn version you can use 
"./launch.sh"
directly (which is the method I prefer)

Ok got it up and running and it notified me that I had 20 unread items. However 
I
actually had 51 items, at least it works. Also when I clicked jump to, it 
didn't open
up Greader in Firefox, but this is a good start though.

More info about clicking jump to: It get an error that says "The folder contents
could not be displayed, error accessing 'file:///usr/share/sounds/ekiga': File 
not found"

Apparently I also tried it when I had no unread items and it still reported 20 
unread
items.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Ok sorry to keep posting numerous comments, I'm just letting you know 
everything that
happened. Now it appears it reported the number of unread items correctly. I 
had 3
unread and it reported it correctly. I guess it only reports (up to) 20 at a 
time. So
it kept reporting 20 after there was none because of the 51 I had unread. Hope 
all
this info helps.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
yes thank you very much for testing it!
as soon as i have some free time i will try to improve it!

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
And how is this watch working for you? does it do the job? and is there 
something you
would like to see improved or can i close this issue and mark it as "Verified"?

Original comment by woutclym...@gmail.com on 8 Oct 2007 at 1:46

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Well to best honest I only tested it for a short while and it worked ok. I would
guess just changing it to a more stable watch so it can easily be added would 
be all
I could think of to improve upon at the moment.

Thank you for your comment :)
In the newest svn version you can add this type of watch in the "add watch" 
window.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Ok I'll check it out. Other than that I guess this watch is finished for now.

Somebody made a google reader notifier for linux so we could check his code and 
see
how we can implement it to have better support:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/grnotify/

I adjusted the code for our needs (i still need to make it a watch).
But it is already useful...could somebody please try it?

>>import grwatch
>>grwatch.updater("username", "password")

this will print some information, the number of unread messages and the feeds.
