Re: I am ready to first channel/code reviewed.

Next question.
The feeds are listed in the code.
I was thinking of reading them from a web page so I could update/add links dynamically.
Is this a good idea?

Thanks

A very good idea. What I'd probably recommend is including a static feed with the channel as well, so your channel has something to fall back on if the web feed isn't available for some reason.

Re: I am ready to first channel/code reviewed.

I almost have the dynamic stuff going but it does not like this line

<enclosure picurl="http://www.planttalkradio.com/images/stories/hower-new%5Bsm%5D.jpg" url="http://www.planttalkradio.com/index.php?option=com_
sermonspeaker&task=podcast" host="Fred Hower" />

This is the code
for each c in m.xml.GetNamedElements("enclosure")
print "This is c@url "; c@url
return c@url
next

Re: I am ready to first channel/code reviewed.

I think the problem is probably the "&: in the URL. That should be XML encoded as "amp;".

Re: I am ready to first channel/code reviewed.

So &amp; worked.
For some reason I can not send the update now.
Will try later.

Re: I am ready to first channel/code reviewed.

Looks like the update uploaded.
Forgot to change the channel version.
Will the channel update on my box or do I need to remove it and add it again?

Thanks

Just visit the channel store and then exit. It will force refresh any updated channels.

Re: I am ready with my first channel.

I added some more feeds.
Does anyone else have some feeds they would like added?
