Built-in CNet no longer working`
As of apparently five or six days ago the built-in CNet stopped working. It looks like CNet changed their website but am not sure how they affected their rss feeds but I'm just getting a failed download, both that it can't find the cover nor the news feed.
Anyone know what needs to change? |

needed to use new rss feed links
Thank you, but unfortunately part of the problem turns out to be the original feed link, that's only picking up week old articles (it is about a week behind the current CNET rss feeds. So I modified your recipe changes further to use the current links and clean out extraneous stuff from the articles. It's now pulling the most current CNET articles.
Attached is the modified version of the recipe for anyone who would like to use it. Please note that you need to change which feeds you want as it's set to "all" of cnet (all the separate feeds are there but commented out). |

CNET News too large to email
Could someone kindly help me out.
I've been using Calibre to fetch news and email it to my kindle for a long time (since I'm not always home). A few weeks ago my CNET news would show up on my kindle as an empty 3 page book. Investigating things on the Calibre side showed that the CNET News ebook generated was 28 MB! Calibre is receiving errors trying to email it because its so large. I'm running Calibre 1.33 using the built in CNET News fetch. I'm really missing reading the tech news on my kindle. Could someone either fix this or tell me how to deal with it. Thank you, TropicalGlenn |

I that CNET Asia is being combined into CNET, so maybe it has something to do with that.

You will need to modify the built-in to the specific feeds of cnet that you actually want as the built-in now downloads the main feed by default which downloads a large file

TropicalGlenn -
Were you able to modify it so you'd get the specific areas you want? If you need further help let me know please. Camper65 |
