This morning (28/04/22) one of my skins stopped working with this error message:
(Fetch error) A connection with the server could not be established (ErrorCode=12029) (F1News\F1News.ini - [MeasureSite])
The line in the skin is: URL=https://www.motorsport.com/rss/F1/news/
When I put this web site into my browser it produces the correct RSS feed.
Any ideas?

Try restarting Rainmeter. I mean a complete restart of it (right-click the Rainmeter icon in the Notification Area, click Exit, then restart it).

Already tried that. I have 3 other RSS feeds that use the same code but a different web address and they work ok.

Doesn't matter if other skins are working, just make sure you restarted Rainmeter. If still doesn't work, let us know please which skin do you have those problems with. A link would be nice.TallShultzy wrote: ↑April 28th, 2022, 3:19 pm Already tried that. I have 3 other RSS feeds that use the same code but a different web address and they work ok.

Re: Fetch Error Code=12029
Check your UserAgent string. Some websites block you if your browser (in this case, Rainmeter) is not known. Set the user agent to the same as your browser and see what happens.TallShultzy wrote: ↑April 28th, 2022, 12:24 pm This morning (28/04/22) one of my skins stopped working with this error message:

Where is the UserAgent string?

Re: Fetch Error Code=12029
Add a line to your Webparser section like this:
UserAgent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/92.0.4515.159 Safari/537.36 Edg/92.0.902.84

Re: Fetch Error Code=12029
EDIT: eclectic-tech beat me...
In meantime I tried the posted URL (https://www.motorsport.com/rss/F1/news/) into my RSS Feed skin and it perfectly works. Since a UserAgent option is not present in my skin, probably something else is going on there. So first make sure you've restarted Rainmeter (not just unloaded and reloaded the skin, but completely restarted Rainmeter) and if you did, please post either a code of your skin, or even better pack the config which contains the skin and upload the package here. Or at least tell us a name of the skin, along with a link where we can download it (do this only if you didn't alter the code).
Probably you don't have so far such an option, but have to add one to the parent WebParser measure. For instance a UserAgent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/92.0.4515.159 Safari/537.36 Edg/92.0.902.84 option.

Here is the code for the F1News2.ini file, it is unaltered.

Re: Fetch Error Code=12029
Does perfectly work: So if the restart of Rainmeter didn't help, there probably something else has happened: if you refreshed the skin more times one after the other, you got banned. If indeed this is the case, you should unload the skin, wait a few days and try it again. Not sure this will help, but maybe worth a try.TallShultzy wrote: ↑April 29th, 2022, 5:37 pm Here is the code for the F1News2.ini file, it is unaltered.
