Hey guys. Just stumbled onto rainmeter when I setup my new pc with a second monitor (only about 7 years behind the cool crowd) and have been having so much fun editing people's skins to my simplistic tastes.
I'm just having a bit of a problem with calling an rss/atom feed. The feed itself is just from a fun site that just gives manly inspirational messages every day. I wrote this after going over jsmorley's guide here http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=59160#p59160.
It worked very briefly (about an hour) but when I refreshed everything to add in more skins the 'About Rainmeter' log said 'Error, WebParser.dll: (1483) The operation timed out (ErrorCode=12002).
Not sure how to fix this and what I've done wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for rainmeter being so rad!
You are hitting the site every 10 minutes since Update= is not valid in a measure (and is ignored).
On the main WebParser measure, you might want to try e.g. UpdateRate=10800, which hits the site every 3 hours (assuming that you have Update=1000 or no Update= at all under [Rainmeter]).
thank you gentlemen, it worked perfectly! i also noticed that i didn't need [MainMeasure] to have StringIndex=1 and the [Child] measure to be StringIndex=2. So I changed it to this --> (for anyone who might search this later)
