Hello. It seems that one of the RSS feed I was using for a podcast is now pointing to a missing server, and so I started getting the error Unable to access these remotes: web.
I found another feed that does not have this problem, but I have not been able to update my git annex repository with this new URL.
I have tried to add the new feed to the feed list and importfeed and have tried to use addurl to provide an alternate source, but that did not change anything. I tried to remove files and run importfeed but info always gives the same URL and get fails.
What is the proper way to go about this? I am using importfeed --relaxed --fast --template=... to pull in the information.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Please show the commands you are trying to run, particularly the git-annex addurl, and show how it does not do what you want it to do.
Hello and thank you for taking an interest and offering your time to help me out, Joey.
I keep a file with a list of podcasts I follow and the relevant (old) URL in it is
https://rss.art19.com/freakonomics-radio. I import them all withxargs git annex importfeed --relaxed --fast --template='${feedtitle}/${itempubdate}-${itemtitle}${extension}' < feeds.txt..It seems that some files that are referenced in this RSS feed are no longer valid.
I tried to find another RSS feed for this show and came across the more "official"
http://freakonomics.com/feed/.This was all quite some time ago and I don't recall many details. Since those days I managed to get around this by downloading the files from the archives. It may also be that the feeds have changed since then. I have also upgraded my system (including the version of git-annex), which was kept back many months. I was still downloading the old files that I do not see in the RSS feeds now — this may be related to the problem.
The
addurldoes seem to work now, and I can't reproduce the problem I had back then. I'll take this off the table. Yet, I do wish thatinfowould mention all the URLs associated to the file. It would help pinpoint the problem in such a situation. I still don't know if the importfeed is doing its thing (adding URLS) or not.Anyway, once more, my appreciation for your interest, your time and your work.
