Hello -

I am currently getting an "Invalid Feed Format: Could not identify a valid feed format" message from my Enigma Sidebar Gmail Reader skin. I had to change my Google password a few days ago, while I was out of town. Came home to find this message on the home computer. I have gone into Enigma Sidebar Options and changed the password, and checked the .ini file to make sure that it was correct, which it is. I have turned off two-step verification on my Google account, and allowed less-secure apps access to my account. Also shut down and restarted Rainmeter, and rebooted the computer. All to no avail.

Any help that anyone can give is greatly appreciated. Thank you!


EDIT: Forgot Rainmeter and system info -

4.0.0 r2746 64-bit (Jan 1 2017)
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (build 7601) Service Pack 1
Path: C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\
IniFile: C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.ini
SkinPath: C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\


Also, here are the messages/error codes in the log:
Source: Enigma\Sidebar\Reader\Gmail\Gmail.ini - [MeasureFeed1}
Message: (Fetch error) The server name or address could not be resolved (ErrorCode=12007)

EDIT 2: I am only using letters and numbers in the password, although I did use caps.

That skin is working fine for me on Windows 10 64-bit...I would look at Google Account Help first, and contact them if you are still having issues.

That's what I was afraid of. Rats.

For me too. But also on Windows 10 64 bit.

I know that the reader can't handle special characters - non-numbers/letters. Can anyone confirm that it can handle upper case? That's literally the only thing that changed about my password.

My password contains upper case, lower case, and numbers; It works with those.

I suspect when you were traveling and had to changed your password, Google may have restricted your account in some way (to protect you!?) since that was done from a different location. Not sure what else to suggest.
