Twitter RSS help? :/

Post by drkschmoogrz »

Hi, I just installed Rainmeter to try out a "Windows7 mobile" skin and I think it's really cool.

Though I'm having two problems. Firstly I want to use the Twitter feed but I don't want to log it in using my username and password as 1) it'll start logging me out of twitter in my browser 2) It's unnecessary when I just want to read people's tweets. So I tried using the twitter's RSS url instead through the configure screen under "RSS1" and it just refuses to fetch it - the log churns out;

DEBUG: (00:12:19.881) WebParser: Finished URL: http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/[MYTWITTERID].rss
DEBUG: (00:12:19.881) WebParser: Matching error! (-1)

Any ideas on how I might fix that?
Also, I dunno if it'd be a skin-related or program problem (I'm new to this) but there's an image rotating widget that routinely goes blank...

Matching Error means that the RegExp= line needs to be changed. Here are some links that will help.
