Omega-TI Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Does anyone know how to get an RSS feed of just this forum? I have a neat little APP that works with my Chromecast, but when I use "ti99.atariage.com" as the feed, all I get it Atari stuff, nothing from the TI forum shows up. I'd like to have TI stuff appear on the screen next to the news feed. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I just created an RSS feed for the two TI-99/4A forums: http://atariage.com/forums/rss/forums/10-ti-994a-computers/ You can see all the RSS feeds available if you click the small RSS icon at the bottom of the page. I can change the number of topics exported and the frequency it updates if need be. ..Al 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hmmm.... thanks! For some reason that RSS url does not seem to working with my application. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Make sure you use the full URL and not the abbreviated version displayed in the post.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Make sure you use the full URL and not the abbreviated version displayed in the post.. ..Al Yeah, did that.... I think. I don't see a typo. Anyway the first photo is of the what I put in the cellphone app controlling the Chromecast, the second image shows that it's unable to get the feed. I wonder if it's a problem with my app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I will have to install an RSS app on my computer to test it. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Thanks. I'm beginning to wonder if it only works with urls with stuff before the ".com" like (ti99.atariage.com) and just cannot handle long urls? Could you try putting making it "rssti99.atariage.com" just for kicks to see if it works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 I will have to install an RSS app on my computer to test it. ..Al The program I'm using on my Android phone to control the RSS feeds for the Chromecast is called "Dashboard Cast" version 1.3.4 Thanks Al, I really appreciate your efforts.

Albert Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Apple's Safari web browser has built-in RSS support, and it seems to work fine there.. That's with two feeds (Atari Systems Forums and the TI-99/4A Forums). Will see if I can find a free, standalone RSS reader. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Downloaded Vienna for OS X and it also seems to work fine with the feed. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Well, thank you for your efforts. I'm sure others will benefit from it, I guess the software I'm using is just not up to the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Two points: 1) The RSS feed works on both my SonyEricsson C905a's built-in RSS reader and Opera Mini 8's. 2) This thread right here is another example of the value of subscribing and supporting AtariAge. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yeah, I think it has something to do with my software not liking large urls. Below (Atari stuff) is what pops up when I just use "ti99.atariage.com". So the program works to a point, it's just limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping Al will test my "rssti99.atariage.com" idea just for grins & giggles. If not, I'll have to see if I can find another Android app that will do the same sort of thing with my Chromecast device. Right now though, I have to get ready and leave for work. I'll check back once more in about 20 minutes before I leave, otherwise it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 its not the same as your use-case, but the RSS feed addy works in MS Outlook 2016. I just added it to my Work email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Yeah, limited software sucks. I was hoping to find another method to get my AtariAge TI fix during the day, but sadly, it did not work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
