showrss compatibility?

[gurkburk76]

Not sure if it's showrss fault or this plugin, but when i use it to get stuff from there it won't show in home assistant.
Any way to get around this or make it compatible ?
showrss.info

Works for me.

Using the following config

- date_format: '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S UTC%z'
  exclusions: []
  feed_url: https://showrss.info/show/1103.rss
  inclusions:
  - image
  - title
  - link
  - published
  local_time: false
  name: showrss_sex_education
  platform: feedparser
  scan_interval:
    seconds: 3600
  show_topn: 9999

@gurkburk76 Do you still face the issue?

Hi,

I think I have the same problem.
I have tryed your exampel @ogajduse but it will give me the same result as my own code.
The /config/configuration.yaml code is green and a restart of homeassistant is possible.
I have also tested to switch browsers, units and apps.

My code is:

sensor:
  - platform: feedparser
    name: RSS_DN
    feed_url: 'http://www.dn.se/nyheter/m/rss/'
    date_format: '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z'
    scan_interval:
      hours: 3
    inclusions:
      - title
      - link
      - description
      - image
      - pubDate
    exclusions:
      - language

When I go to Deweloptools and search for entity: rss_dn nothing will come up...

Please give me some help.
Thank you!

@hjallex I forgot to mention that I tested it with the 0.2.0b2 pre-release. I plan to release 0.2.0 and there are some beta releases available. I would be more than grateful if the community would try the beta releases before I release it.

Could you please try installing the 0.2.0b2 release through HACS and let me know if it works for you?

[hjallex]

I have updated to your 0.2.0b2 beta version with hacks.
Restarted HA.
Tryed to find "RSS_DN" or "showrss" but nothing.
So I was making some adjustment in the yalm.
But it did't work.

My yalm file is green and when I go to next site for "check configuration and restart button" I got an error.
I have tryed with "sensor" and without sensor.
I'm send you some copy from my yalm and restart site. This is my latest test.

My yalm code:

#sensor:
  - platform: feedparser
    name: RSS_DN
    feed_url: 'http://www.dn.se/nyheter/m/rss/'
#    feed_url: 'https://www.sciencedaily.com/rss/matter_energy/engineering.xml'
    date_format: '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z'
    scan_interval:
      hours: 3
    inclusions:
      - title
      - link
      - description
      - image
      - pubDate
    exclusions:
      - language
    
sensor:
  - platform: feedparser
    name: Engineering Feed
    feed_url: 'https://www.sciencedaily.com/rss/matter_energy/engineering.xml'
    date_format: '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z'
    scan_interval:
      hours: 3
    inclusions:
      - title
      - link
      - description
      - image
      - pubDate
    exclusions:
      - language

My error:
Invalid config for [sensor]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 57).
Invalid config for [sensor.integration]: [unit_of_measurement] is an invalid option for [sensor.integration]. Check: sensor.integration->unit_of_measurement. (See ?, line ?).
Invalid config for [sensor]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 57).

With your exampel from above:

#sensor:    
  - feedparser:
    date_format: '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z'
#    exclusions: []
    feed_url: 'https://showrss.info/show/1103.rss'
    inclusions:
     - image
     - title
     - link
     - published
    local_time: false
    name: showrss_sex_education
#   platform: feedparser
    scan_interval:
        seconds: 3600
    show_topn: 9999
  - date_format: '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z'
#  exclusions: []
    feed_url: https://showrss.info/show/1103.rss
    inclusions:
    - image
    - title
    - link
    - published
    local_time: false
    name: showrss_sex_education
    platform: feedparser
    scan_interval:
      seconds: 3600
    show_topn: 9999

I can make a correct restart but I cant find the "name: showrss_sex_education" in the list.
My conclusion is: the beta version is not working ether.

Thank you!

I have successfully used the config that you posted and feedparser 0.2.0b2 correctly populates the data to the sensor.

sensor:
  - platform: feedparser
    name: RSS_DN

I am looking at the screenshot of configuration.yaml that you included.
Beware that the sensor section has to be defined only once. Also for every sensor entry in the configuration, you have to specify platform - in our case, it is feedparser Lines 45-59 should be placed under line 79 as all sensors need to be nested under the sensor section.

If you have troubles with configuration

Note: I would recommend you use published instead of pubDate. That adds the date to the feed entry in the sensor. I see that it is not well documented in the README, so I have created #90 to address it.

To add to the ShowRSS question: How can I add the fields with a colon in the name (like tv:show)?

From the example RSS feed given:
<tv:show_name>Sex Education</tv:show_name>

Just putting a - "tv:show_name" in the inclusions: sections doesn't work.
