newznab empty categories due to "malformed result"
#1
Question 
Hi,

thirst, I want to mention that I highly appreciate all the work and effort done in all these projects here in the XBMC community Smile

I encountered a problem when using newznab (version 0.2.4 ; XBMC Frodo 12.2 Windows 7 Professional).

The site I use is nzbs4u.net (aka nzbs2go.com).

The problem: categories get listed all fine, but when navigating into "movie" categorie, they are listed as empty (exept of blueray and foreign) and the info message from newznab appears: malformed result. Since most others work fine (e.g. TV, PC), I am sure that the api key is set correctly...

Has anyone else this problem or is it just me? any suggestions?


thanks guys!

EDIT: I add some XBMC debug log (sorry, i dont know how to put it better)[/code]

here a snitch from when it works with category 2060

and here the log from when it didn't work (note the difference is in the red line)

----------> to me it looks like a time out or something.... could that be? when browsing on the website it works all fine... can I set the time out trigger somewhere in the code from newznab?

thanks for any hints guys!

it appears to be a provider problem, the nzbs2go.com / nzbs4u.net website has some coding errors, when getting the rss feeds for certain categories.. they promised to fix it asap.

cheers everyone
